As we all know by now, when you have an ME diagnosis, you lose a lot of things. Aspects of your life that you always believed would be in your control are suddenly being controlled or looked after by other people.

I remember this specifically during my time in hospital. It seemed that my opinion or what I wanted didn’t matter. I was stabbed with needles to have bloods taken. I was wheeled down to an MRI scanner. I was manoeuvred into position to have a lumbar puncture done. None of which was through my own choice. It seemed like, once I was pushed through the hospital doors, I ceased to be a person with thoughts, opinions or choices. It appeared to me, that I was expected to just do what I was told by the experts. What happened to me being my own expert? When did a medical professional’s bedside manner stop being about the patient and start being about the process?
