Most people with ME have specialised needs, just to use a computer, or even sit up in bed.
Below are some simple adaptions/creations I have put together to improve my life, and extend the amount of time I can use a computer without ‘crashing’. Some ME-life hacks in here too
Do you know someone handy to build for you, or even someone else with ME? Build 4 ME
Warning – some animated gifs below, I need to get rid of them…
Work in Bed
Us, not you 😉
Most have to use computers in their beds, but even that is tiring.
I’ve come up with some simple hacks to make it easier, cheaply.

Custom Chairs and more
Some people can sit at a desk for a while, if they have a chair that supports their necks + head. Maybe their legs too.
I custom built this one… from chairs I bought 2nd hand at the Green Shed, in Canberra.
One Size Fits Most (or maybe just one)
I’m not proposing a one-size fits all anything.
Probably each person might want something a little different. You might find these ideas helpful.
I built my first laptop tray from a kitchen shelf slider, and because I feel the heat a lot, it also has, ahem, hidden features.
Six silent running server fans!
More to come soon – and maybe a quick video of my latest setup too.
