Some of you will say or post that this is not an appropriate post for a racing board. Some of you may remember me KitKat, I was at one time compiling video's of racing, mostly sprint cars. Then I was doing some filming with a local racing series in Tulsa.
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis is a virus with a 4-7 incubation period. No worries you can't catch from me, it's alot like the Polio virus. Also don't be alarmed there are five catagories in which you need to have three symptoms in each...don't be getting hysterical. It affects 85%-90% of women.
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E.) is a debilitating neurological disease which has been recognised by the World Health Organisation (WHO) since 1969 as a distinct neurological disorder. M.E. is classified in the current WHO International Classification of Diseases with the neurological code G.93.3.
It can occur in both epidemic and sporadic forms. Over 60 outbreaks of M.E. have been recorded worldwide since 1934.
What defines M.E. is a specific type of acquired damage to the brain (the central nervous system) caused by a an enterovirus. It has multi-system involvement which is characterised by post- encephalitic damage to the brain stem; a nerve centre through which many spinal nerve tracts connect with higher centres in the brain in order to control all vital bodily functions – this is always damaged in M.E.

The medical doctors and the American Assoication of Medicine will not just use ME as a stand alone disease, they will attach Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Then they may put the sufferer on physic drugs and an exercise rountine.....this unfortunately worsens the ME and will most likely result in death, usually heart failure.
Here is a post from Mayo's discussion board about ME:
"Please save yourself a lot of wasted time and money. Skip the Mayo for ME (CFS). I went to the Mayo in 2007 and was quickly dismissed as a psych patient. The endocrinologist even mislead me about a review of my past brain MRIs that showed a number of issues."
Hummingbird foundation states "having ME is like having parts of Multiple Scleriosis, AIDS, Alzheimer's, the flu, Arhtristis and Epliepsy all mixed together at once, with some extra horrific symptoms thrown in that are entirely its own. It is a neurological illness of extraordinary incapacitiating dimensions that also affects virtually every bodily system".
This disease is not Fibromyalgia, it is not Chronic Fatigue Sydrome and its not a mental illness. PLEASE PLEASE help make friends, family everyone you know that this disease exists and is real and is not being treated right. The doctors are trying to tell me I'm suicide. If I were, why did I refer myself to the USA's number 2 clinic to find out what's happening and find a cure? Given time with no answers, no help I would have died on my own. I've just re-connected with my family over in England, the last time my cousin, mother and I had physically contact was in 1999. Each one of us right now are chronically ill. I am doing some investigation to find out the answers. Each one of us are housebound. HOW can three females all related decide to do this to ourselves? And we all became ill pretty much at the same time? I hardly hear from my cousin, and two days ago I saw a picture of my mother for the first time, she was on a mobility scooter. It shocked me to see how ill she looked in only two years.
So if you find yourself wondering what the hell "she" is on about now . Research, get the word out, advocate as a lot of ME suffers are unable to do so because of the progression of this disease.
This disease is the easiest to cure if found within six months of onset of symptoms.
