As I mentioned last week, I spent almost 10 years living with M.E. I was paralysed, bed-bound and wheelchair-bound before my recovery from a car crash helped me get back on my feet. What I didn’t really chat much about on last week’s episode was my diagnosis and what that experience was like.
To some extent, I was very fortunate with my diagnosis. My GP, a kilt-wearing, Harley Davison driving, older chap, was of the belief that, as the patient, you know your body best.
He also wrote to, at the time, the UK’s leading ME specialist. For me, that appears to be where the issues began.
