Adventures with Purpose

/ Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / By

I just want to show you something amazing.
I watch a lot of YouTube and recently came across Adventures With Purpose

At first in their videos they would use their diving experience to find missing items and to help clear up waterways in America.
They went on to do something truly amazing, they started reaching out to families who have missing loved ones and offering help.

They look for people who have gone missing with their cars and using a 5 mile radius from a loved ones home or last location they start looking at potential places they could come off the road,then using Sonar Technology they go looking for them.

Granted this says a lot about law enforcement in America and the sheer number of cases they have to deal with every day as well as the budgets for local dive teams or lack of it.

These divers just want to give families answers and to bring home lost loved ones so they can be buried properly.

Please give just one of their videos a watch to see the amazing work they do. I think they deserve help to raise awareness of what they are doing , so please help me in helping the only way I know how and that’s to write about it

It truly puts life into perspective 🥰

They have a Facebook page as well as a YouTube channel https://youtu.be/bJzCIZXGm7M

Love always

Alisha 🥰

What is Myalgic Encephalomyelitis

According to the NHS Website, Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a long-term illness with a wide range of symptoms. The most common symptom is extreme tiredness

For more information please visit https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/chronic-fatigue-syndrome-cfs/

People with ME/CFS have fatigue that is very different from just being tired. The fatigue of ME/CFS:

  • Can be severe.
  • Is not a result of unusually difficult activity.
  • Is not relieved by sleep or rest.
  • Was not a problem before becoming ill (not life-long)

Worsening of ME/CFS symptoms after physical or mental activity that would not have caused a problem before illness. This is known as post-exertional malaise (PEM).

Sleep problems.

Many but not all people with ME/CFS have other symptoms.

Pain is very common in people with ME/CFS. The type of pain, where it occurs, and how bad it is varies a lot. The pain people with ME/CFS feel is not caused by an injury. The most common types of pain in ME/CFS are:

  • Muscle pain and aches
  • Joint pain without swelling or redness
  • Headaches, either new or worsening

Some people with ME/CFS may also have:

  • Tender lymph nodes in the neck or armpits
  • A sore throat that happens often
  • Digestive issues, like irritable bowel syndrome
  • Chills and night sweats
  • Allergies and sensitivities to foods, odors, chemicals, light, or noise
  • Muscle weakness
  • Shortness of breath
  • Irregular heartbeat

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis does not have a cure.

Find a Dr or Consultant who listens to you is the first step

It is a manageable condition and depending on the severity of your symptoms the more difficult this can become.

I advise learning to listen to your body and what it is telling you. If you feel tired rest and if you feel pain find a solution to reduce that pain, this could be through pain medication prescribed by your Dr.

I am not saying that finding a Dr who listens or listening to your body is going to be easy as this illness is incredibly complex for some and manageable for others.

Having a Dr who listens to you or reads about the latest drug that sufferers are recommending can take a lot of unnecessary stress and anxiety from the sufferer.

It would be best for me to point you to the above question What is Myalgic Encephalomyelitis? 

Most pages list the illness as ME/CFS or Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or sometimes even Systemic exertion intolerance disease (SEID).
