Remember the ME/CFS patients' long-term caregivers, please. Help is needed.
Even though it has been a while, I still clearly recall being introduced for the first time as a caregiver. A friend of Rob's commented, "Rob is taking care of his wife who has ME/CFS." I instantly corrected them since I found it terribly strange. I said, "I'm not really a carer in the true sense of the word," and I butted in. "My spouse is ill. I take care of the kids. But everything is OK here. I didn't want to sound the alarm in typical British fashion. Please, no.
Since the epidemic upended their lives, an increasing number of caregivers are performing their duties on an informal basis. I don't work; I'm a writer. Caregivers take care of the elderly and hold professional certifications.
