I (Emma) am a 26 year old woman with ME or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome which means I have significantly diminished energy levels and suffer from chronic pain. Therefore I sometimes need help with day to day tasks, especially when my husband is at work and unable to take care of me. Outside of the home I use a powerchair to get around but at home I am able to walk short distances. When I am able, I enjoy engaging in creative hobbies like knitting, sewing and drawing. I also play Dungeons and Dragons with my friends once a week.
