Plus: I developed arthritis in my right hand what can I do?

Even when you manage your lifestyle and diet, stress can creep back in and set you back says Megan Sheppard. Picture: iStock  

I was diagnosed with ME in my 20s. I got a lot of support from my GP and also changed my diet, cooking from scratch and cutting out ultra-processed foods. I also did mindfulness training, which helped me cope. I’m now in my 30s and mostly feel well, but sometimes I get a setback, particularly if I’m under stress. Is there a supplement you could recommend?

All the steps you have been taking are exactly what will keep you going from strength to strength. As you mention, stress is the wild card that can set you back, even when you are managing diet and lifestyle well.
