But not til this evening, so we had a good trundle round Wisley. Interesting to see very little fruit on the apple trees in their orchards - they must have been affected by the same frost that wiped out our entire crop this year. Plenty of pears ? though, so they won't be going hungry, and some monster pumpkins ? developing.

Clari - it's thought to be a by-product or complication of virus infections which leads to sufferers having diminished energy levels, unpredictable aches and pains and depression but it's equally thought to be caused by psychological stress. The jury is out, pending any scientific proof which depends on them asking the right questions. Ether way, it's a bit like having permanent, debilitating flu or glandular fever.
Sufferers find it is cyclical and unpredictable and gets worse after physical or mental exercise so you can wake up feeling fine, for once, and then knacker yourself again. Diet and rest are supposed to help as well as relaxation therapies and meditation.
I've had glandular fever several times and it can take months to come out. I know one ex GW poster who has had ME for about 20 years and has good days and then bad weeks. Her garden and cats are a great comfort.

Absolutely. Apart form everything else, every case is different and some doctors still think of it as yuppy flu! Go armed with evidence and insist on blood and urine tests to rule out anaemia, thyroid, liver and kidney problems which may also cause fatigue.

Evening all.
Does anyone have any knowledge of M.E. ?
Pauline; I've been reading as much as I can online. But I know to be careful as you can diagnose yourself with anything if you read enough in to it.
Clari - do not self-diagnose. Keep a note of any symptoms for discussion with a doctor.

Joyce I'm not self diagnosing; believe me I've enough labels from the GP and hospital without adding more to it myself!!
I would appreciate someone who has been through the process to help me understand just what the GP is playing about at.
The internet is all well and good but when you're shattered it does make things hard work.

ClarI: I will send you a private message. I have some helpful links, which a colleague who has a special interest in CFS uses.
