I was happily surprised to read this great article on the Mamamia website by Kate Easton, detailing her experience of chronic fatigue. And it gave me shivers.

More than once I’ve written about how lonely and isolating it can be dealing with conditions of fatigue. In a recent blog post “Thryoid Sufferers and Frenemies” I spoke about the difficulties most of us face in having our friends and family understand how sick we really are, when we appear on the surface to look quite “normal”. In Kate’s article “5 things I wish people understood about my Chronic Fatigue Syndrome” she writes of eerily familiar scenarios that I have also encountered during my journey with fatigue. At first I was a little taken aback as the five points that she describes, are ones that I have written about in very similar terms in my upcoming book “The ‘F’ Word Solution“. What I have taken from that however, is that I am on the right track, as many fatigue sufferers will obviously relate to these type of experiences.

Kate writes: “You can’t survive chronic fatigue syndrome alone. It’s lonely, it’s isolating and it’s a battle each and every day.”

Alternatively, if you or someone you know has a fatigue condition, you are welcome to book in to see me in clinic for either a full naturopathic consultation or a fifteen minute Q & A session to get an idea about my approach . See www.embracinghealth.com.au/naturopath for details.
