Hi I severely suffer with M.E for 7 years, I'm always very tired & spend most of my time asleep, I can't do any activities because the slightest thing is like running a marathon, mentally I'm really struggling, nice to meet everyone

    Hi @PharaohMan86 - & welcome to the community. I'm sorry to read you have M.E. as this seems a very difficult condition to live with.
    Have you discussed the mental aspect of this with your GP? Hopefully they may be able to help.
    It's good to 'meet' you too, & I'm sure you'll find the community both helpful & supportive. :)

    Welcome to the community @PharaohMan86 I'm also a member of the sloth club, need to nap after breakfast.  :smiley: Hope you'll find advice and friends here. I know that even getting online can be difficult when one is exhausted.

    Morning @PharaohMan86,
    Thank-you so much for taking the time and using up some of your energy to tell us a bit about your story here. I have a few friends with M.E and their experiences sound so similar to yours, so I wanted to reassure you that you're not alone. I'm also really glad to see that this post has found a few people with M.E from the community, too. I hope that you'll have a chance to connect and feel less isolated. I know that there has been so much difficulty around the NICE guidelines for treatment, which has made it harder for a lot of people to access the right support, too. If you aren't having much luck with your current GP, it may be worth looking to see if it's possible for you to get an appointment with someone else. As ever, everything is a fight & its one that can be exhausting at the best of times, but I do hope that you have support from family/friends with it all. We'll do whatever we can for you, too. Keep in touch, whenever you're able :)
