“The story I am about to tell is very close to my heart. I can relate to Theda Myint’s struggle with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME), or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome as it is known, because I used to have it. Oh, is that that illness where people pretend to be tired so they don’t have to work?

It’s that kind of misconception, misunderstanding and sometimes plain ignorance, that makes suffering with CFS/ME that much harder, especially when it comes to gaining the support you need. Which is why I want to tell you a little of my story first.”
