Heard a BBC Radio 4 Thought for the Day clip, at around 05:40 BST (today 12 May). Not sure of the lady's name, Rev Kirsty someone I think. Was about her son who they eventually realised had problems, and was diagnosed with "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome", and that it was a long haul before he got back to school. Did mention ME Awareness Day, albeit only said their son had CFS.
Although it was good to at least hear something on the subject on the BBC (albeit not exactly prime time), I was left feeling uncomfortable with this brief piece. Was vague and ambiguous, and could easily leave listeners with the impression that she was asking God to help people overcome their illness and get well again.
There are usually several Thought for the Day slots in the morning. Not sure if any of the others will be on ME/CFS.
