Cartoon on ME (fabulous)

[Seanko]

The best thing I have seen as part of ME Awareness Day is a cartoon by Laura Chambelain. It can be found on her blog and vividly depicts the life and struggles of somebody with ME/CFS.

The M.E. Adventures comic: energy and exertion #MEawareness

In October 2009 a childhood friend visited for the weekend, and I haven't recovered.

ME/CFS sucks. We never know which event will put us permanently to bed. I’m so sorry you paid such a huge price for what should have been a sweet, wonderful time.

@Seanko this is fabulous! Thanks.

Ah, you are nice, @San Diego. Thanks. Sorry to burden you and others.

The cartoon is good. Thanks, @Seanko.

@Merry My big relapse also happened in 2009. I thought I was getting better & simply ended up doing too much :S

I hope your recent move went ahead & you are enjoying better health currently.

Burden? Nope, not on here! We all understand and I’ll bet every one of us has some dark days. This illness is too big to grin and bear sometimes.

2009 -- oh no! -- a bad year for you, too, Seanko. I'm sorry to hear that.

The move did take place, in September, and I'm recovered except I'm still wondering if the hair I lost will grow back.
