Hello Alice
I found your blog through my google alerts and noticed you too live in Surrey although I.m more than twice your age.
I wondered if you had considered the possibility that Lyme Disease might be the cause of your ME/CFS. In UK lyme is considered very rare but in fact there is a huge controversy over the tests about 50% unreliable that's even if you get tested although NICE guidelines say that it must be ruled out before giving a ME/CFS diagnosis.
Then the controversy is over treatment ILADS say long term antibiotics although HPA say they follow IDSA guidelines which are currently under review.

There is so much information if you want to read my story of ME/CFS diagnosis to Lyme then it is on the right bottom of my blog
http://joanne-orangecottages.blogspot.com/
At the top right are links into many interesting websites especially Lyme Disease action and a chat line Eurolyme of which 75% of members were first diagnosed with ME/CFS.

I hope you don't mind me commenting.

Good luck with finding what works for you.

Hi Alice, oh dear, I don't think your Dad was laughing at your predicament. Your response was so succinct that it did sound like very dry sarcastic wit. My Dad finds humour in the darkest of my comments too. Hope your feeling okay hunny?
