Today is ME Awareness Day. ME (short for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) is a severe debilitating chronic condition that affects an estimated 1 in 250 men, women and children in the UK. Symptoms can vary from patient to patient but usually include severe long-term fatigue, muscle / joint pains and sleep problems that can be so severe that sufferers cannot physically get out of bed and /or have to be spoon-fed. Unfortunately little is known about the causes of ME and conventional treatment is pretty non-existent with many doctors still not acknowledging it that it is a real illness. This leads to many sufferers not only having to cope with living with this horrible illness, but also having to battle to get themselves taken seriously both by doctors, the media and friends and family, and also to get the help that they so desperately need. However, help is out there and although there is no known cure, diet and lifestyle recommendations have be shown to be very successful at managing the symptoms of ME. If you or anyone you know suffers from ME or chronic fatigue, please do contact me or come and see me for nutritional therapy consultation, simple changes to your diet and lifestyle really can make a difference.
