This is Also M.E, Crashing with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in Real Time

from Chronically Glitched · host Martina

Episode 13: This Is Also ME, Crashing with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in Real TimeThis wasn’t supposed to be the next episode.Mum and me were due to record properly, but I’ve been really unwell, and instead of disappearing for weeks until I could manage a full episode, I wanted to leave something honest behind in the gap.So this is a shorter episode. About half an hour. Recorded while I’m in the middle of feeling properly rough after family visits, overstimulation and trying to recover again out in the garden.I think it’s important to capture these moments too. Not just the “best version” of chronic illness where you can tidy yourself up enough to speak clearly and sound normal for an hour.Sometimes ME is unpredictable. Sometimes it pulls the rug completely. Sometimes all you can do is sit outside and try to calm your nervous system back down again.This episode is basically a little bridge between now and the next full episode. But it’s also probably one of the more accurate snapshots of what living with ME actually feels like day to day.#MECFS #ChronicIllness #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #ChronicFatigueSyndrome #InvisibleIllness #DisabledCreator #Spoonie #ChronicFatigue #PodcastUK #MentalHealth #HealthPodcast #ChronicIllnessPodcast #MELife #NeuroimmuneDisease #Housebound #PostExertionalMalaise #PEM #ChronicallyGlitched #MECFSAwareness #RealLifeWithME #PodcastRecommendation #BritishPodcast #YorkshirePodcast #DisabilityAwareness #LivingWithME

Gordon and Kumail Nanjiani are uniquely qualified to lead you through this forced quarantine situation. They are both writers who work from home.

Me either. Don't want a guided meditation? Found that sleep stories aren't boring enough? Need something other than background music? I got you. My name is Helen Sernett and I find it chronically hard to sleep. I started Sleep Lists because I couldn't find the podcast I felt I needed to help me get to dreamland. It's just lists. Each episode I visit a different list, recite it to you, and wish you well on your sleep journey. I hope to help you get the rest you need.

Are seed oils the devil, or just… oil? Will a cold plunge actually change your life, or just make you miserably cold?We're cutting through the noise of influencers and gurus to give you the TL;DR you actually need. One part group chat, one part science class, and one part comedy roast. This is the only wellness podcast that will
