a lady with chronic fatigue

[Guest guest]

Hi everybody,

on saturday I met a lady who told me she had chronic fatigue syndrome, and I

lent her my book by Dr P. She was reluctant to take it as she is certain that

it would not help as she has chronic fatigue and not a thyroid problem (the

front of the book is very specifically saying help for thyroid patients, and her

diagnosis is different) but in the end she took it, to be polite I think. I

hope she will read it and perhaps consider some of the information.

I will see her on saturday next week, as she is doing some cushions for me and

we will collect them, and I will get my book back.

Has anybody got some links that I can print off and give to her some information

that might be helpful. Not too long, just a few pages max.

I could see she was walking with difficulty, and it reminded me of my own

problems with walking before I had treatment, like walking through treacle and

treading on knives!! She said her hands were weak and she dropped things, she

was worried about dying as she is 53 and she thinks the average age at death for

patients with her condition is 54.

love from janet
