Me, ME

Me, ME. Oil on canvas, 51cm x 41cm

I fell ill and was diagnosed with a chronic illness called ME (myalgic encephalomyelitis) in August of 2019, which affects my life to a great degree as it severely limits what I can do. The most debilitating symptom is fatigue, from which I suffer from most of the time, in varying degrees. I also get PEM or Post Exertional Malaise, which is a worsening of all symptoms after any kind of physical, mental, or emotional stress. I usually feel as though I have jet-lag and the flu all rolled into one.
