Having their own elected mayor is the only way they see of Labour regaining some control of the Council. Some of the symptoms eg excessive fatigue, are similar, but in ME you can also have extremely painful muscles all over the body making it almost impossible at times to do any exercises. Even getting up from a chair, or getting dressed and undressed, can at times be very, very painful as I know only too well. These bad spells are often said to come after a dose of flu or some similar ailment. The only way really to know what ME feels like is to have a dose.
Nobody appears to have discovered the cause, or any treatment.
Some get better, some don't. I only started a few years ago, fight it as well as I can, but now feel pain which I didn't have at the start. Unfortunately I am allergic to drugs for muscle pain. Mrs M Cook, Hall Bank Drive, Bingley. Someone may be looking for you right now.
