One of the more dispiriting symptoms of ME/CFS is termed "unrestorative sleep". But often sleep can feel more degenerative. You can often wake up feeling worse than when you go to sleep and take hours to recover from the sleep.
Taking the joy of sleep away is just cruel.

I think subjective measures in illnesses like ME/CFS are pretty useless. But I think one of the less talked about reasons they are useless is that after a few years you typically become quite incapable of judging how ill you are or how it really affects you.

The protein in question WASF3 was identified in 2011 as potentially important in ME/CFS but was never followed up. Too many promising leads like that never followed up because of a lack of funding for ME/CFS. How many other promising leads are just sitting in the literature?

Healthy people literally started to lose their minds after a few weeks of covid lockdowns. Yet somehow they think it's fun being forced to be locked down at home for years and years by chronic illness.
One reason “get to work” policies are so cruel for disabled people is that losing their career was devastating. Sitting on the sofa is nice for a weekend but less so if you’re doing it for thirty years and in pain. Being told you “don’t want it enough” is psychologically brutal.

One of the problems with ME as an illness is that because most people don't know much about it many people assume that it is taken care of like most other illnesses.
The reality of marginalization and negligence is so shocking as to seem unbelievable really.
This is an appeal. Someone I love has ME. Year after year of crushing weakness and fatigue. I’m not willing to accept there is nowhere left to turn; nothing left to try. I’d hugely appreciate any positive stories/suggestions. DMs open.

It is interesting to watch people, including doctors, realise perhaps for the first time that society as a whole doesn't care much if you catch a virus and are permanently damaged by it.
People are sad if you die but you can be broken for life afterwards and few will care.
