How to explain M.E./C.F.S.

Sleep well, annp
Sweet dreams.

I suffer from tiredness and next day exhaution but i dont have a mame for it but you have my sympathy. Its horrid being so exhausted. Im in bed now from 8 pm most nights

Good point MissAdventure. Would be easy to research.
I've thought of printing or sharing online information* Lollin* but I would have to be careful how I do it for fear of offending.
Lemongrove thank you for your sympathy but I don't see her very often. I am visiting. Perhaps if she saw me more she would understand
although I think many people including some doctors are still sceptical.
I empathise with your daughter *

Thanks everyone. It helped just to tell you.
must rest now.

Am sorry that you have a DD with so little sympathy or understanding annep
If I were you I would be doing very much less for her in the future.Put your health first.
Like mcem I have a DD with fibromyalgia (and another DD with M.E.) but these conditions are well known about not rare, so everyone should realise how debilitating they
are.

So sorry to hear that your own daughter cannot understand what you are experiencing. No idea how you can get her to see. It must make it even harder for you. I wonder if there is any literature available that you can print out with a list of the symptoms highlighted in basic clear terms?

It's fibromyalgia with my DD but she gets similar reactions and "advice".

With all the wealth of information available, I would have thought your daughter would educate herself.
