    This by the title of the episode may not seem to be about CFS however I’m chatting about how Harry style new song Matilda connected with me as someone with CFS and how I thought it connected.

Hope you’re doing alright and if you’re doing exams now I hope they go well!

  • Why we need awareness.
    Awareness and representation is something we are majorly lacking in the chronic illness community! I feel like we never get to see ourselves in tv shows and films and other forms of media which SUCKS! Today I wanted to chat a bit about why it’s vital that changes in the future and why I try and do my part to bring awareness :)

  • Feeling guilty for cancelling plans!
    I think if you live with chronic fatigue syndrome or another chronic illness I’m very sure you’ve had to cancel on plans before, we all have. And there is always this strong feeling of guilt attached to it, you know you’re doing the right thing for your health but you want to be there and again your illness is holding you back! Today I wanted to chat about that because I know it’s something a lot of us have probably struggled with, myself included. I hope you’re doing okay :)

  • Colourblind people can’t fly planes trend
    Had some technical problems today while recoding this episode so you’ll have to excuse the change in mic half way through I just really wanted to make sure an episode got out this week! I hope you’re doing alright and looking after yourself! Today I chat about the TikTok trend currently happening of colourblind people can’t fly planes and I wanted to chat about that and my options and experience with that as someone who experiences similar situations because of my chronic illness.

  • School holidays with a chronic illness!
    Hi everyone, hope you're doing okay!
    Right now I'm in school holidays but because of my chronic illness which contradictory to popular belief doesn't actually stop when on school holidays it's not as fun as it should be. I have revision to do but my body is exhausted from the last school term which means no revision. Basically there's no win in this situation! I thought maybe someone would relate to the overwhelming situation and would like to know that they're not alone :) I hope this can help and bring some support.

  • Having your illness invalidated
    I feel like it's very common for those of us with chronic illnesses and invisible illnesses to be invalidated by those who don't go through things similar to us simply because they don't understand and maybe don't try to. Today I wanted to chat about that incase you can relate. You're not alone and I try to share my experiences with it and how I get through it.
    Hope you're doing alright :)

  • Covid with a chronic illness

    Have you been worried how covid will affect you with a chronic illness? I definitely have and then two weeks ago I tested positive. It was scary and very hard with my chronic fatigue syndrome but because of that I wanted to share my experience and how I got on and felt during and after. Maybe it'll help you worry less or maybe you will be able to relate to it if you've been through it.

    Hope you enjoy and remember I'm back here every Wednesday with a new episode where I chat about anything and everything chronic illness.

    See you next week and hope you're doing okay

  • When I'm in a CFS crash
    Lets face it for those of us who go through crashes they can be really frustrating. We want to be able to do so much more by our symptoms come down on us!
    Today I wanted to share some of the things I like to do when I can manage them when in a crash, of course this depends on how bad the crash is but these are some typical things I enjoy when I have low energy.
    I hope you enjoy and feel free to share some with me on instagram @chronicfatigue_millie
    Hope you're doing alright <3

  • Anger over illness
    I feel like we are justified for our anger when it comes to chronic illness. As someone who has chronic fatigue syndrome and has been ill for years I think I have good reason to be angry. Angry at my illness, my life, the world, the lack of scientific research. Just in general there’s a lot so today I wanted to chat about it because often we’re shut down and told to be grateful it’s not worse when that isn’t the solution
