Here is an article I was featured in for Metro News in Jan 2019
“I want people to know that there is absolutely hope of recovery, as well as acceptance that you are perfectly whole even though you are ill.” ~ Nicole Barton
Chronic fatigue syndrome, also known as ME (myalgic encephalopathy) is estimated to effect 250,000 people in the UK. It is a serious and debilitating illness that at times can render its sufferers unable to function effectively due to the level of fatigue. ME is more than just exhaustion. According to Dr Charles Shepherd, medical advisor to charity ME Association, the condition ‘can cause greater functional impairment and poorer quality of life than many other serious medical conditions’. ‘ME has a unique and defining clinical feature known as postexertional malaise – a delayed exacerbation of symptoms that can follow even minor physical or mental exertion (such as movement or exercise),’ he says.
“For a while, it felt like CFS really impacted my life. I lost my job, and it felt like the end of the world, but what I want to share with people now is how this can actually be the universe’s way of showing you where you are meant to be. I want people to know that there is absolutely hope of recovery, as well as acceptance that you are perfectly whole even though you are ill. I am the embodiment of that; I know it is possible.” ~ Nicole Barton
