This picture was posted on Facebook today. I shared it on my Timeline and wrote this caption:
To Humanity: Is that too much to ask? I'm there for you when you are ill. I ask you how you are doing and I listen to you. I offer you support and well wishes. I care. I believe you when you tell me you are sick. Why can't you do the same for me? I know the name of this disease sucks and is misleading, I know we don't look or sound ill, but if you would just ask me I would so gratefully explain all that. Love, The Millions With CFS/ME
16 1/2 years with this illness, and
it does get lonely sometimes....... a lot.
