This podcast is all about ME. Each week I’ll bring you short manageable episodes that cover things from living with ME, understanding it, explaining it to others and learning how to love your life with it. As somebody who lived with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) for almost 10 years, I’m passionate about offering hope and inspiration to others who are experiencing ME. I was bed-bound and wheelchair-bound with ME before finding my feet again and coming through the other side so believe me when I say, I understand what you’re going through. If you are a woman living with ME, or you have recently been diagnosed with ME, then I’m here for you! I’ve been there, done that and I’ve not only got the t-shirt but I’ve worn holes in it too through all my trial and error! So why don’t you join me?

Hello and welcome to Believe in ME with Rhona Barton. In this week’s episode I’m going to be chatting to you about Dream Building.

episode 5: What a Good Day Looks Like with ME
In this week’s episode I’m going to be chatting to you about what a good day looked like for me. This is something I would hope for on a daily basis. I’m sure you can relate to that. So let’s have a look at what that meant for me at various stages of my ME.
As is typical with this condition, it can vary from hour to hour let alone day to day...
episode 4: Financial Burden of ME
In this week’s episode I’m going to be chatting to you about the Financial Burden of ME. This is something I struggled with for years and I want to highlight this area as I feel like it’s another thing that’s forgotten about when it comes to ME...
episode 3: Isolation & ME
I believe this is one aspect that is usually overlooked when thinking about and discussing ME. In fact, there’s a movement called #Millionsmissing which aims to raise awareness of what it’s like to live with ME, to demand equality for all people with ME who have been stigmatised from healthcare and support, to demand effective treatment to manage the condition based on the best available evidence and to demand research funding commensurate to disease prevalence and burden...
episode 2: Diagnosis & ME
As I mentioned last week, I spent almost 10 years living with M.E. I was paralysed, bed-bound and wheelchair-bound before my recovery from a car crash helped me get back on my feet. What I didn’t really chat much about on last week’s episode was my diagnosis and what that experience was like.
To some extent, I was very fortunate with my diagnosis. My GP, a kilt-wearing, Harley Davison driving, older chap, was of the belief that, as the patient, you know your body best...
