I was once a professional athlete. I had tremendous energy and have always been a hard worker. I was extremely healthy and fit until I became sick (20 years ago) from a combination of being exposed to mold and a flu shot. I will never know if that combination gave me ME/CFS but I have never been the same since. I was bed bound for a year and gradually was able to work again but never at the same level. A few years ago I had a terrible relapse which cost me my marriage, my home and my job. So here I am again fighting my way back to health, but 'm not giving up on getting my life back.
ps. Lost some friends along the way but family and true friends have saved me....
