Understanding The Reality Of Chronic FatigueFriday 24 May 2019
From Irish newspaper the Limerick Post:
Understanding the reality of chronic fatigue “I SAID ‘you can do this; you can fight it’. But, unfortunately, you can’t. It disciplines the strongest of people.” For Sarah Warde, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) has overshadowed most aspects of her life for the past 18 years. The mother-of-one from Dooradoyle was perfectly healthy and working full time until she got a severe chest infection in 2001. The infection travelled to her lungs causing a serious case of pneumonia. After the illness abated, she found that she wasn’t feeling as strong as usual. She was diagnosed with post-viral fatigue and was no longer able to work. She never fully recovered and was eventually diagnosed with ME/CFS.
