**What is M.E**
Have you ever taken your phone out on 10% charge? It’s less efficient. Less useful. Less active. Less effective. This is what it is like living with M.E. The body battery is broken, people can no longer charge ourselves up. As a result of this - M.E sufferers are sanctioned to do a great deal less. Some, are sanctioned to their beds 24/7 every day. Muscle inflammation, pain, brain fog, dizziness, problems walking, painful joints, sensitivity to noise and light, the list goes on. In an M.E crash brushing their hair can use up all of their energy, having a shower, brushing their teeth, and for some, even just standing, speaking and eating.
M.E long-term (chronic), fluctuating, neurological condition that causes symptoms affecting many body systems, more commonly the nervous and immune systems. But the majority of western medicine does not understand M.E. A recent study of over 18,000 patients, showed 58% of individuals getting progressively worse after traditional NHS GET treatment (cited below). It is also extremely hard for an M.E sufferer to receive any form of state benefits. This is because we do not fully understand what causes M.E or how to test for it.
