Life in the slow lane

'M.E. myself and I' by Anna Redshaw

Slow and steady wins the race

Progress, recovery or improvement is painstakingly slow. For some of us there may be none at all. I have to accept that it is highly unlikely that I will ever return to my pre-ME energy and activity levels. Like I said to begin with though, I am one of the lucky ones. I have already seen improvement and made progress towards recover. I have been able to use the stairs and sleep in my bedroom for almost a year now. If I could go a little jig to celebrate I would! I remain hopeful that I will continue to improve, or at least not go back to the way I was this time last year. I may be naive in looking on the bright side, but it is just the way I am and I am thankful for that. 

This little guy was clearly moving faster than I was, hence my inability to get a non-blurry photo…

Hello,

I’m Anna

Welcome to M.E. myself and I, my tiny little corner of the internet where I share snippets of life in the slow lane. You’ll also find all things Blue Sunday here, the annual fundraising event I started in 2013 to raise awareness of M.E., include people living with the illness, and raise money for the M.E. charities who support us.
