My late daughter was told she had this as a teen. It led to many other healh issues and she died in 2004. What she had was very, very real. She missed her senior year of high school but had a home teacher. She was so disappointed to miss what was supposed to be her very best high school year. We all miss her so very, very much. She would have loved her niece’s and her nephew’s little girls. My daughter was a very talented clarinet player who played all of them. I would not want anyone to go through what she did. What does any parent do when their child cries for hours from the pain she was in? RIP, Janice. You are loved and missed. This makes me so sad!
Very sorry about your wonderful, talented daughter.
Most of the preceding comments give a good case for why libs mock a certain type of conservative as knuckle dragging idiots.
So sorry that you lost Janice, MamaB. She must have been a delight. I can only imagine the pain you went through.
As for scoffing at this study, I know there is something to it. Disappointment makes me very very tired too…I hope not to the extent that it will become chronic, but I do have those deep dark “what’s the use” days when I can easily sleep 12 hours.
So sorry to hear of your loss of your precious daughter. I have been totally disabled by ME/CFS for 15 years from age 50 on and at least I had 50 good years before being afflicted including being able to be the father of two to mostly healthy children.
I don’t know why heartless trolls pounce on ME/CFS threads to mock sufferers or to this day even my own PCP still tells me I am “just depressed” when the literature is clear that ME/CFS is clearly a neuro/immune disease, just as multiple sclerosis was before it became recognized as a “genuine” illness.
I am sure that the same mockers that are here now on this thread mocking CFS sufferers would have been mocking multiple sclerosis sufferers 30 years ago as having an imaginary illness without even reading the thread article showing the latest MRI evidence from Stanford U.
Dr. Montoya at Stanford heads up the neuroimmune clinic at Stanford dedicated to treating ME/CFS and I am being treated at a similar clinic at NOVA U. heare in South Florida.
Free Republic CFS thread trolls who love to mock those of us with ME/CFS need to get up to date on the medical research which proves that people with REAL ME/CFS are often found be severely immune compromised and have lots of opportunistic infections of viruses.
My condolences as to the loss of your daughter and the suffering that she experienced. CFS is especially cruel in the way that it diminishes and burdens those who suffer from it.
I am sorry for your loss.
Sorry fro your loss.
Disregard the “MUD” comments on this thread. CFS is real and can be very debilitating.
