It [ME] is one of the most disabling diseases that I care for, far exceeding HIV disease except for the terminal stages. ~ Daniel L. Peterson
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis quotes by Daniel L. Peterson
ME/CFS has a greater negative impact on functional status and well-being than other chronic diseases, e.g., cancer or lung diseases[8], and is associated with a drastic decrement in physical functioning[9]. In a comparison study[10] ME/CFS patients scored significantly lower than patients with hypertension, congestive heart failure, acute myocardial infarction, and multiple sclerosis (MS), on all of the eight Short Form Health Survey (SF-36)[11] subscales. As compared to patients with depression, ME/CFS patients scored significantly lower on all the scales, except for scales measuring mental health and role disability due to emotional problems, on which they scored significantly higher. ~ Frank Twisk
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis quotes by Frank Twisk
I am a person suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome and I am appalled that it has been given such a trivial name.

Here is a disease that totally disables most of its victims; a disease that causes balance disorders, resulting in some of us requiring wheelchairs, cognitive disorders that leave us unable to perform formerly simple mental tasks, and immune disorders that lay us open to multiple infections and to autoimmune problems.

And all the medical profession can come up with to define this syndrome to the general population is "fatigue! ~ Jane Cuozzo
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis quotes by Jane Cuozzo
He has so little energy in his body that he can only walk to the bathroom on the other side of the hallway twice a day.

After a few meters he is worn out, much worse than after the marathons he used to run. He was a triathlete, he earned a brown belt in judo, became Dutch champion in hockey, until he contracted pneumonia in 2005 and never recovered. Ever since, he has a headache, vertigo, and insomnia, but worst of all the fatigue: after minimal effort his muscles would lose all their strength and take days to recover. Only after a few years did he get a diagnosis: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). ~ Ellen De Visser
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis quotes by Ellen De Visser
No matter how hopeless you feel, strive to find the one thing that makes you feel alive and pull yourself to the light at the end of the tunnel. There is hope. Trust me. ~ Tammy-Louise Wilkins
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis quotes by Tammy-Louise Wilkins
I'm really tired", you come to understand, is meaningless, giving the impression all will be well with a good rest and that if you've ever been tired, you know what it is to be exhausted. ~ Frances Ryan
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis quotes by Frances  Ryan
It's extraordinary how many people have a postviral syndrome that's very strikingly similar to myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome. ~ Anthony S. Fauci
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis quotes by Anthony S. Fauci
Mark Vink is a not a typical ME/CFS patient. He is severely ill. It takes him twelve hours to recover from a walk from his bed to the bathroom. While he's not typical he may not be that uncommon, though. Some estimates suggest that about 25% of ME/CFS patients are home bound or bedridden. Few ever make it into research studies. ~ Cort Johnson
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis quotes by Cort Johnson
You get ill, you are accused of being mentally ill, denied effective treatment, then when you campaign for 'real science', you are accused of terrorising those who do not believe in your illness...after all, if your message is that people who say they are suffering from ME or CFS are mentally ill, then accusing them of irrational attacks adds strength to your case. ~ Martin J. Walker
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis quotes by Martin J. Walker
It is [Simon] Wessely's often-unconcealed "derision" directed towards people with ME -- a disease from which people die and which appears on Coroners' death certificates as the cause of death -- which arouses such anger, an anger that is not confined to patients in the UK but encompasses medical scientists in other countries whose decision-makers have come under Wessely's thrall. ~ Michael Hanlon
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis quotes by Michael Hanlon
Luckily, we are seeing less and less post-exertional malaise, the symptom that stops Danny's body and brain recovering properly after expending any energy, even just watching TV. ~ Sonya Chowdhury
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis quotes by Sonya Chowdhury
Eighteen months ago, after seeing thirteen different doctors and undergoing multiple tests and investigations, not only was I given a diagnosis of a condition that I didn't know about or understand, it was an illness I didn't believe in. ~ Nina Muirhead
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis quotes by Nina Muirhead
The whole idea that you can take a disease like this and exercise your way to health is foolishness. It is insane. ~ Paul Cheney
