Summary
Diagnosed with CFS in 2010 after a long process of exclusion, Horizon 94940 was working part-time, studying at university and raising children. They tried a programme in Leeds along with CBT but gave up, saying the advice did not fit their life, and called CBT a waste of time. A sleep medication helped them sleep through the night but left them too groggy in the morning, so they stopped it.
