About Me

My name is Rosie, I'm 15 and live in Wiltshire, UK. I've had M.E for roughly 2 1/2 years now, and am roughly 75% on the ability scale at present, although I seem to have become quite stuck at this level and haven't made any progress for a while :(! I attend school for 3/4 days, but am unable to do anything after school other than rest. This means I have very little time with my friends. I am also a very keen musician, who plays the flute at national level, along with violin and piano, although due to this illness I have had very little time to practise or take part in orchestras.

The main problems that I suffer from are severe fatigue, muscle aches, a "spaced out feeling" which really winds me up, headaches and a very low self confidence due to all of this.

After trying many other therapies and following a pacing programme for the last 6 months, any improvment has been minimal. I have therefore been inspired to take part in the lightning process by Ricky/Hiijinx, and other testimonials from friends and family.

I have been booked in for the three day course staring on Tuesday 28th April in Bath and am really hopeful that it will have a positive effect on my health, despite all of the negative comments that many members of AYME have had about it.

This blog is here so I and others can hopefully see me regain my health, and if that is so, to inspire others to take part in the Lightning Process.
