About Me

My name is Sarah Amelia Xandria Whining. I am a 18 year old girl with CFS. My everyday is dominated by a lot of rest and not much activity. In bad periods, i sleep 17-18 hours a day, but in good periods, it might be enough with a good night of sleep. 

In February this year I quit, or postponed, school. I haven't been to school since the beginning of November 2013, and therefore I chose to quit for now, concentrate on my treatment this spring, and try again next fall. 

I live with my parents, my 13 year old sister and 20 year old brother. I love my family, and without them in this tough period of my life, I truly believe that I would be much worse, especially psyologically. 

My treatment now involves physiotherapists, a psychologist and a medicine called LDN. The reason I go to a psychologist is to learn how to use as little energy as possible on things that isn't necessery. At first, I was sent there to find out if i was depressed. Going through something like this often makes people depressed, and that steals a lot of energy. Thankfully, I was not depressed, but I still have benefit from the treatment.
