Even famous people get M.E.

I briefly read somewhere that Michael crawford had been diagnosed with M.E.  I found an article on the internet to confirm it.

I hope this clarifys to some people that do not believe in the illness that a such well known and well loved T.V. family favourite could not be making something like this up. They always say lazy people do not get M.E. and this is a typical example of how someone who pushed their body to the limit sucummed to the illness.  I do hope he will join major charities to support funding into research.  This is the way forward for the future to stop this illness becoming somewhat of an epidemic with the stressfull world we have in now. 

I am glad to have emerged from my cold damp cave of a house into spring with warm air and sunny days.  it definately makes me feel much better. 

I am starting to write a song called 'Hiding from the Sun'  which will be hopefully sung at my local Support Groups fundraising day on the 5th June.  If anyone would like to help then please contact me with your ideas. 

I now live in a household with a cat and a dog, this is inspiring my writing and I started a new picture book for children recently.  It will be called 'I just want to be friends'.  I also have created my own website for my writing, which is very exciting http://www.fiona-murphy.co.uk/ Take a look, even though I have many health problems I still want to achieve something, even though some days it's an immense struggle. 

I have been kindly given a TENS machine to help me manage my pain.  This is mainly for my back problem, but I was asked by a friend who has M.E. if it would work for him.  It has reduced, taking painkillers by about 40% so that has got to be an impressive result.  If you can afford to buy one yourself and you experience muscle pains, one nasty smptom of M.E. then go for it it definatley works.

Enough of talking about myself, back to the writing.
