I am very ill and can't afford food and shelter please help, long term illness myalgic encephalomyelitis
I have ME/CFS which causes severe exhaustion and lack of energy, can't work anymore and after over ten years of struggle I am left with nothing, may soon lose a roof over my head and my life is in danger.
My symptoms are severe fatigue not relieved by rest, whole body pain, chronic inflammation, brain fog, post-exertional malaise, headaches, nausea, metabolism issues, can't concentrate for long. I am very weak and had to stop all my activities, I have no energy to talk or go out and I barely make it to prepare meals. If I do more than I can I am hit with even more extreme fatigue worse than in a flu. I excluded other illnesses that could cause these symptoms and my condition requires further specialized testing that I can't afford.
There's no support for people with ME/CFS in my country. My situation is very difficult now.
If you could help it would mean the world to me. Thank you!
