M.E. myself and I was started in October 2012 to help my loved ones understand the complexities of the invisible illness Myalgic Encephalomyelitis. It also became the place where I could offload and talk about my new life in the slow lane after becoming so ill so suddenly in September 2010.

It quickly became a source of support for others with the condition who shared my posts with their own friends and family to try to help them understand the realities of this illness. M.E myself and I has connected me with people who have become firm online friends, some of whom I have been lucky enough to meet in-person.
My little blog posts are read in countries all over the world and have been translated into other languages. This is still something that I can’t quite believe!
I apologise in advance for any spelling mistakes or grammatical errors; my brain and I aren’t always on speaking terms. The majority of blog posts are written over the course of a few days, weeks, or months.
Please do get in touch if you are struggling with the colour or font size/style.
