ME is just having young kids

[OhHolyFuck]

So have been having blood tests and investigations for chronic fatigue and pain for over a year, have had doctors say it's in all likelihood ME and to adapt my life as such

Went to a senior doctor last week for what was assumed to be the final 'sign off' and he asked lots of questions about my lifestyle - did I have kids, did I work, did I have support, was I depressed etc

A letter has come through today saying that actually I don't have ME and my life ruining fatigue is 'just' having 2 small kids and working

I am so annoyed - does anyone know what to do from here?

Agree to look into Lyme. I had chronic fatigue and can relate to your symptoms. I'm 10 months into lyme treatment and symptom free. Nor NHS treatment though, they were useless!

Very rubbish of the doc being so dismissive. I know nothing about ME but sounds like something could be up.

Have you ruled out hypothyroidism? Being diagnosed and treated for that made a massive difference to me.
Do ask your gp for a blood test if you haven't had one.

Failing that, if you can afford it I'd be seeking a private referral of some kind.
