Kirstie R-Mitchell

Kirstie R-Mitchell is a 51-year-old Edinburgh resident. She works full-time despite her chronic condition. Kirstie has been living with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME) since the age of 39. Before her diagnosis, she experienced exhaustion, joint pain, headaches, and stomach issues from basic tasks. However, with support from Action for M.E. and the lockdown in 2020, Kirstie learned to pace herself and manage her condition. Kirstie advocates for ME awareness as her condition is often overlooked. She is open about her experiences to raise awareness and help others who may be struggling with similar conditions.
