My dd2 has just been diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome (m.e.) and is not well at all. On days like today she can barely walk and needs to be sitting or lying at home. I have 2 others aged 9 and 1, and so have to do things for them too which involve leaving the house. Obviously she has to come with me, but it means that I am unable to leave the house at all apart from essential trips ( eg collecting ds from childminder) . It's only been a few weeks, but I really don't know how to manage. Has anyone else been in the same situation and what do you do? This is likely to be our reality for months if not years. I have no family nearby and most friends are not in a position to help due to illness/ jobs. Good ideas welcomed!
