Ziggy

/ Health / By

Did you see Ziggy from Grange Hill back on TV today ?

Did it bring back memories of rushing back from school or sitting in front on your tv with your dinner on your lap ? Did it remind you of the song ? , I think I could still sing along to every word 😉

If you haven’t seen or heard this story yet please just follow the link below to the This Morning YouTube channel, please give it a watch.

What George is doing could change someone’s life , we need to talk more about mental health. As parents we need to understand what to look out for. As friends we need to be able to approach without being confrontational and we need to be able to talk about it all openly without stigmas.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with George Christopher Wilson and he is on of the nicest, most genuine people that I have ever met.
I have cried laughing at the things that come out of his mouth , he just has a genius comedic mind and timing.

George deserves every success and I can’t wait to see him back at the top of his game.

If you haven’t already please order his book , order more than one , leave it on your coffee table , place one in the break room in work.
Just please let’s start talking more about mental health and the signs but most importantly let people know that it is ok to talk about this x

Well done George x x

To order a copy of George’s book please follow the link below to order it from Amazon.

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).
