4 Quotes by Mary Dimmock

How do I validate him in the face of such profound personal loss and the outrageous denial by the medical community?

I wake up every morning, thinking that this can't really be happening. What parallel universe have I entered?

Over the years, I have cared for loved ones with advanced Alzheimer, late stage cardiovascular and renal disease and Stage 4 cancer. But none of those experiences prepared me for being a carer for a Severe or Very Severe ME patient. The breadth, severity and unprediciability of the symptoms and dysfunction from one person ro the next and from one day to the next can be hard to comprehend and mainstream medical education doesn't help.

How do I deal with my own frustration and outrage at the injustice of what has happened to my son and all ME patients and with my own inadequacies and inability to change that?
