Well thats another month of lockdown gone. At least now we have a flicker of light at the end of the tunnel. Hopefully the new measures will bring back some form of normality into our lifes. Still a long way off from a coffee and cake with friends but that will come. Please continue to follow the Government guidelines and social distancing rules. Wonder how the New Normal will turn out and affect us.
Its sad to hear of some Covid-19 patients are still struggling with symptoms of fatigue. The only positive is that this may bring in more funding for research into ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia.
