Famous People With ME

Posted , 7 users are following.

Having a quiet day today, and have just read an interesting short article.

Both Charles Darwin and Florence Nightingale suffered, by the sound of it, from ME.

'For much of his adult life Charles Darwin's illness repeatedly affected him with an uncommon combination of symptoms, leaving him severely debiiitated for long periods of time, incapable of normal life and intellectual production, staying in bed most of the time for months. He wrote 'constant attacks makes life an intolerable bother and stops all work'.

For many years Florence Nightingale was bedridden and her birthday is now celebrated as the International CFS Awareness Day.

So we are in good company sad
