Confusing times

I have been sent some information about conflicting research done.  I find it all a bit confusing, but then I do have M.E.  I know for a fact that my own health has improved by pacing and resting.  Learning more about the illness and avoiding situations that will make it worse.  This is sometimes very hard to put into practice.  I find it hard to explain to my friends and family that background noise and a lot of talking give me 'Brain Fog',  its like my brain cannot cope and goes into foggy mode.  It's very annoying and extremely hard for other people to comprehend.

 I am continuing to write, all be it very slowly.  Criticism is always hard to take as it is now one of the only things left I can achieve as a career.  My best friend says I am too hard on myself and I should do it as a hobby and not put pressure on myself to get things published.  I am determined though to not let life pass me by without achieving something worthwhile.  When I meet new people now, I tell them straight away what my health problems are to get it out of the way.  This make things much easier for me to deal with.  The future is uncertain but each day brings a new challenge.
