What is About M.E.
Hello, and welcome to About M.E. you may have seen a LinkedIn post, TikTok video or Instagram story related to this new adventure. I’m here to introduce you to raising awareness about invisible illnesses. In 2020 during the pandemic I was diagnosed with something called FND (Functional Neurological Disorder).
It was a diagnosis and a link to a website and I was told I would be fine within a few weeks and to just simply get on with it. My Neurologist said I just needed to be more positive along with other “specialists”.
Accepting a long-term condition
Fast forward to January 2021, I realised no one was coming to save me, nor giving me a magical cure, and I was sick of feeling sorry for myself. At this point I wanted to find what worked for me and how I could best manage my symptoms and pain.
I found support within communities who were facing similar experiences, and had been exploring different methods of coping with pain. It was a challenging experience and I faced many personal and professional battles but here we are today.
Managing Pain
I wanted to create something that could help fellow chronic pain sufferers and to what has helped me make a 70% recovery.
So About M.E. is a one-stop-shop to help fellow chronic warriors with pain management, a clothing line to support with daily prejudice we may face, monthly self-care boxes, an app to manage/track your pain.
So thank you for your support so far, whether I know you or not.
Thank you,
