Do you know what it is like to live in CONSTANT pain?

May 12th – International ME/CFS & FM Awareness DayMy husband has CFS/ME for 7 years now I have been his caregiver, his advocate, and his voice….and still his doctors REFUSE to find him an effective pain management for his dibilitating condition.

“he’s tooo young to need narcotic pain meds” “we don’t want to kill his liver” but they don’t mind that he lays in bed in constant agony and pain raising levels of cortisol and adrenealin from pain in his body, to increase his risk of a deadly heart attack or stroke before he’s 50.

Doctors are now saying that people with severe CFS/ME like my husband have just as much pain as people who are in end stage cancer, or MS… and they pump those sufferers with pain management  all the time because it is inhumne to allow someone dying to suffer the last of their days in pain….

WHY, i want to know, is it perfectly OK, for my husband who is not even 45 years old, and supposed to be “in the prime” of his life, to suffer the way he does day in and day out for the last 7 years, without the ability to find a compassionate doctor who will actually TREAT him.

My husband’s story is not unique. CFS/ME today is very much how the medical establishment treated people with MS when nobody knew what it was.

CFS/ME needs a VOICE. I’m screaming….and alone it is not enough.

learn about it, know what it is….cause i guarantee you have NO idea what chronic Fatigue is like.
