Be very careful not to blanket everything as ME. I think people tend to do this and might go without treatment for other more fixable things. Get tested for everything and make them listen to you and spend time on you !

I read somewhere yesterday that if you have been diagnosed with M.E. you are supposed to let the D.V.L.A. know as it is a notifiable illness. Has anyone here done so or know anymore about this? Apparently if you do not notify them it could affect your insurance - to be null and void!

I read somewhere (will look it up later) that you have to inform them of any medical condition you have.

I can't see any mention of cfs/me.

sh1305, if I had to let them know of every medical condition ... well!;)

2520years, thanks for that, I've just had a quick look and I can't see it either, apparently it comes under neurological condition but I don't see it there. I'll have to look into it because I wouldn't want to get a fine etc.

Haha, I know that feeling. At the end of the day there's only so much you can do. There must still be things you can enjoy. I try to make a bit more of a fuss if there's something good on TV...I can do that with relatively little expenditure of effort.

The only things we should worry about are things we can control. We just have to leave the other things alone. I know it's not easy, but we can only do our best.

Thanks for your kind words, I was having a bad day today when i wrote it and i think you can tell

I'm usually more upbeat and try to be positive, i just let it get a grip of me today x
