Fom Merryn's family:
Channel 5 news contacted us and have been round this morning to film a piece on Merryn. It should be in the channel 5 news at 5 and 6.30pm this evening.
We hope we’ve done you justice darling and all the other M.E. patients too xxx

I listened to the coverage, and I am sure I heard the newsreader say Merryn has severe ME for 6 DAYS! Otherwise it was good coverage with a mention of a disbelieving doctor who denied her illness.

It will probably be repeated at 6.30 pm if you missed it.
