Hey,

I’m very triggered right now by certain comments on reddit in other subs. I’ve come across comments saying “I thought it was just CFS/FMS” (but it turned out to be Sjogren’s). Or something like my rheum dismissed my symptoms and diagnosed me with CFS/FMS/etc.

I’m so tired of Me/cfs being written off as being a little tired while it literally destroys the life I had before and comes with so many symptoms, which make me feel awful 24/7. Almost every doctor I’ve been to dismissed me as soon as I mentioned CFS and thought it was “just being tired”.

Me/cfs should be a disease where you get reactions like “Oh no, that is awful” (like with other chronic illnesses like Lupus, RA, MS, and many more) and not “everyone gets tired”… No questions, this is just a rant because you probably get it.
