Story about Chronic Fatigue Syndrome / M.E. .

CFS for 10 years

Jun 23, 2026

By: Sara


I believe I have had CFS since I was 12 years old but only now are they actually looking into if I have it instead of pushing me aside and saying I will grow out of it. At the moment my CFS is quite bad and has been for nearly a year now. I find it difficult just puffing my sofa cushions without needing to rest half way threw. Not going to lie its does suck, but what helps is having an amazing Fiance who helps me as much as he can even though he works full time as well. 

I am not letting CFS rule my life I had to leave university last year due to having a nervous breakdown due to my many other problems but my CFS is the main one at the moment and I havent stopped it from letting me go back to university to finish my degree. I am crazy to be doing a drama degree with CFS cos I do find the running around and constant rehearsals very difficult but I am trying my hardest. I have made a timetable from Monday to Sunday 9am til 6pm telling me when to rest and sleep and when to do things. So far I havent followed it cos my CFS is quiet bad at the moment and I need as much rest as I can to beable to go to university everyday.

Wish me Luck :D
