My ME/CFS recovery journey: Owen

Myalgic encephalomyelitis or chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a long-term condition with a wide range of symptoms. The most common is extreme tiredness. ME/CFS is often triggered by a viral illness such as flu or glandular fever, but can also occur after a trauma or emotional upset. Less commonly there is a gradual onset with no clear starting point. It can affect anyone, including children and young people. Although it can affect both sexes, it is more common in girls. The symptoms may last for many months, often affecting the young person's attendance across several academic years. Relapses can be common. ME/CFS is a condition which affects all aspects of a young person’s life including their school, social and family life. Owen was a patient at the Dorset ME/CFS Service for Children and Young People and he discusses his journey from diagnosis to treatments to coping strategies. Music: Bensound
