Hi guys - just a quick one. I'm helping somebody fund-raise for a charity looking to establish in depth research into M.E. For anyone that doesn't know, M.E. is a chronic neurological condition that leaves the sufferer with no energy, joint and muscle pain which for the most part is completely unexplainable and a compromised immune system, as well as a host of other unpleasant symptoms. I can vouch for the ultimate... well, there is no other word, "crappiness" (which is not a word, but I won't tell if you won't) of this condition, as I suffer from fibromyalgia, which is essentially M.E. but with more focus on the pain.

As far as medical research has reckoned so far, they are almost essentially the same, so treatments are similar. For most people, they don't work - I've been lucky to have improvements but most aren't. Finding relief for the most part requires a complete lifestyle change, diet, exercise, pretty much everything. Most people can't work. It really, really... there's no words really, so instead I shall just say "flarg".

But yes. Waffling aside, funds are being raised to actually start researching properly and hopefully turn some lives around. If anyone wants to donate, here's a link "Why thank you, I'm a link", however, if not, it's always good to raise awareness.

Love to all xxxx
