Hello everyone,
I am a first-time novelist, writing about a world where a very severe virally-induced form of CFS has hit the world. I'm doing this because some days ago I watched "I Remember ME" and was struck by the fact that sufferers of CFS had to deal with so much pain, both physical and psychosocial.
I have some idea of where I want to go with my novel, but I will admit that I am ignorant about what suffering from CFS feels like. I only discovered it a few days ago, after all!
So my question is:
What would you like the world to understand about CFS/fibromyalgia?
I want to avoid offending sufferers of this disease as much as possible, and if my novel helps to make life for only a single reader a bit easier, that would make the labor of writing worth it.
Thanks,
Kevin
