Living with ME/CFS: Robie’s Story | ME/CFS Alert Episode 99
Llewellyn King interviews 42-year-old Robie Robataille. In this video Robie talks about her difficulty in getting a diagnosis and her gradual decline to the way she lives now: She takes a couple of hours to wake in morning and can only stomach a shake made by her parents.
She speaks frankly about the loneliness of the disease, and how her two dogs and two cats mean so much to her; where one would long for human touch, she has only the caress of her animals. Robie tells the story of her decline over 15 years to a point, four years ago, when she had to abandon her home and life in Texas to be taken care of by her parents in Wrentham, MA.
