Dear Community
Anyone else have a child with Type1 but you as the parent have CFS/FMS/ME?
My 13 year old son has very recently been diagnosed with Type1. I (his mother) have Mitochondrial Failure, giving symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia, which makes me virtually house bound. Considering my limitations in stamina and the life changes that Type1 has given my son and now me too, how do you cope with supporting your child with this illness whilst trying to manage your own illness as well?
Feeling very overwhelmed and emotional by it all.
