Tuesday Tunes by Tim

Tim Minchin has provided me with many MEminibreaks over the last few years.  He is clever, funny, rude and completely unique.  I love the way his music is full of heart as well as laughs.

Tuesday Tunes

I am a big music fan.  Music has played a huge role in all stages of my life and my time with Chronic Fatigue has been no exception.  I find that as well as doing its usual jobs of comforting, uplifting, entertaining and energising, music helps fill in the quiet of my Chronic Fatigue days.  I don't listen when I'm resting, or if I'm having a particularly audio-sensitive day, and I definitely can't do anything while the music is playing, but I find it really useful when:

Welcome!

MEminibreaks is a place to come:

• for ideas to brighten your day
• to be part of a community
• to learn about what living with Chronic Fatigue can be like

An MEminibreak could be a song, a book recommendation or suggestion for a simple daily ritual.  While these are far from a cure, I find things like this can really give my fairly serious, monotonous and foggy days a little lift and leave me feeling inspired, if only for a few minutes.  I truly hope they will do the same for you.  By discussing them here, we can build a community of people who have some idea of what we experience, whether through having Chronic Fatigue themselves or because they are a friend or family member of someone affected.

Chronic Fatigue can be hard to understand, not least because experiences of it can differ hugely.  Plus there are a LOT of misconceptions out there.  Through some of my posts I'll share my ongoing experience of living with Chronic Fatigue, and hopefully shed some light on this debilitating condition.

Have a look around and let me know what you think!
