“Living with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is like being erased. It rubs out what my brain and body can do, turning me into a reduced version of myself.”

“Having CFS is like being a dormant seed, waiting for just enough energy to come alive.”

“Walking 8,000 steps a couple days per week lowers mortality risk”

Depressing for me as I haven’t walked 8000 steps in a day in 28 years, paradoxically due to following advice to exercise early in my (undiagnosed) #MEcfs illness (I was initially only mildly affected and most likely walked 8000 steps many days a week) 🙁
