DNA delivered in 2mls of spit!
I’ve done it! I’ve contributed to the world’s largest genetic study of M.E.
Here, I summarise the bumpy road for our community leading up to this M.E milestone.
M.E, Motherhood, and Missing Out on ‘Firsts.’
Our children’s ‘firsts’ are important milestones in their rapid development – which is why it’s so heartbreaking when M.E stops us from witnessing them. Here, I talk about the recent ‘first’ I missed out on.
M.E and Birthday Thievery
It’s my birthday – hooray! Except, thanks to three years of Severe ME / POTS, I’m a little unsure of my age.
Disability Benefits – End of an Era:
PIP (disability benefits) are a financial lifeline to many people with ME/POTS. So what happens when you no longer qualify, yet you’re not well enough to work?
