I’ve had CFS for more than 12+ years and with big ups and downs. I see a lot of questions and people that are very scared with CFS. I must say it’s a very scary illness. With a lot of pacing, help from my family and partner i’m now able to do a lot of things.

But i would like to share some succes i’ve had for the past few years. Hope i can inspire some of you with this illness that sometimes it turns out ok

• got my law degree
• lost weight and started very easy workouts
• got a great stay at home job at a big bank, that affords me to do anything i want
• found a very supportive husband and got married
• bought a house with my husband
• got a vacation house in Spain
• travelling the world together

But it’s also very hard

• my hair falls out sometimes (stressfull situations)

• i’ve been sick from work

• i can’t clean the house so we have housekeeping

• have days that i can’t go out

All in all it’s very hard but some of us have some ability to have a somewhat ok life.
