ME Pyjama Party Outfit of the day 😉

/ Disabled blogger / By

This ME Pyjama Party I am going to change things up a little. I want to highlight ME Awareness but on top of that I want to raise awareness of the amazing ME charities thst we have just waiting to help us.

The past few weeks I have been contacting as many ME Charities and support groups as I could find and I asked them to send me a TShirt of Hoodie that I could wear over ME Awareness week. I have to be absolutely honest , I have been thrilled with the response.

So this ME Awareness week I will be having a little fun. I have gone out and bought a few new outfits and pyjamas that I can wear .

My wardrobe is full of clothes that I can wear on a good or a bad M.E. day , all my waistbands are elastic and for my bad days of course I don’t move out of my pyjamas.

ME Pyjama Party Outfit of the day will be a little bit of a laugh , my social media feeds are filled with celebrity and influencers outfits of the day. So all the outfits I have bought will be worn in the same way. I will take a few photographs maybe even a video of my outfit of the day , if I am feeling brave . I will then put a ME charity TShirt over the outfit and take a few more pictures. I will then upload it to my social media and hopefully with the help of the ME community they will be shared everywhere.

Sometimes while we arefighting hard to make a difference to ME Sufferers we forget that we have charities who want change as much as we do.

Each outfit of the day I will also put a link with my whole outfit just in case you like anything and of course I will link the charity of the day.

I wouldn’t be able to do all these events and posts if it wasn’t for the love and support I get back , so please share and join in we want these events to get bigger and better every single year.

I can’t wait to see your ME Pyjama Party pictures and your outfits of the day.

ME does not define us, that’s up to us .

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).
