People with ME are often unable to work full or part time and children may not be able to attend school. They may not feel well on a day to day basis and their symptoms can vary from one to the next. This can be very challenging for them, especially if they live alone and have to depend on others for support. Some people may have to stay in bed all the time, while others need around the clock care.
There is no specific laboratory test for ME/CFS and a diagnosis is made based on the person’s medical history and pattern of symptoms. This means that other diseases that cause similar symptoms must be ruled out before ME/CFS can be diagnosed. Unfortunately, this is a difficult task and misdiagnosis is common.
It’s not uncommon for ME/CFS to go undiagnosed for years, even when the person has been struggling with their health for a while. This is because doctors may not understand ME/CFS and it’s very easy to confuse it with other conditions. This is why it’s important to see a GP and explain the symptoms carefully.
The most common symptoms of ME/CFS are debilitating fatigue that is not explained by another disease and does not get better with rest. It can also include a variety of other symptoms, including broken or shallow sleep, memory and concentration problems, sore muscles, headaches and difficulty thinking clearly. People with ME often compare their energy levels to a flat battery on a cell phone – they never feel fully recharged. It can be a very disabling illness that affects people of all ages, from any background and of all sex. This is why it’s so important to fund research into ME/CFS and push for improved awareness.
