Coping with chronic fatigue (ME)

Coping with chronic fatigue (ME)

I've had ME for years and often have sore joints and muscles. I try to avoid taking too many prescription painkillers so Nurofen Muscular Pain Relief Gel's a good alternative. It costs £2.99.

I find that eating organic food really helps with my ME. I feel less tired and nauseous.

My mum has ME, and at the moment she is bed ridden, but last night she had to fits, can u please tell me if any one else with ME has fits and what causes it. Also is there any thing that can help the pain? Is it common that people with ME can get better

I'm not sure if I have chronic fatigue. I am fine one day and then the next I wake up and feel dreadful. I ache and feel extremely tired. But then I wake up the following day and feel fine. Is this common?
