Your Jaw Never Gets Tired

OK, here are 4 photos.
I think I am being quite brave putting these on. Especially as photo 3 is awful !

Photo 1 : A Good Day

Photo 2 : An OK Day

Photo 3 : A Bad Day. In bed, exhausted, in lots of pain (head, eyes, neck, shoulders). Unable to function.

Photo 4 : The same Bad Day, but the pain starting to ease off. Maybe 5 hours later.

When people see me – I am maybe like photos 1 or 2.
But for most of the time, people don’t see me. And this is very typical of people with CFS or ME.
This year, I have probably looked like photo 3 for a huge amount of the time – maybe 75% of the time.
In bed, exhausted, in pain, not functioning in any way.
Just ill.
It has been one of the worst years I can remember in all my years with CFS.

But I think I’m starting to improve slightly now. Very very slowly – baby steps.
I’m almost scared to say this – incase its tempting fate. If that makes sense ?

I wanted to publish these photos – as Photo 3 is the “real face of CFS”.
