The mother of a child with ME came to my self-help group this week, she could hardly speak about it without bursting into tears, her husband had to take over. Well done to NIcki Strong at the end of the video for describing what's going on with her kids so articulately, must have been incredibly difficult for her. Leaves you speechless.

Great that they had this event.

Yes she was marvellous and so eloquent at describing it - she would make a great spokesperson.

It really makes you wonder how the Lightning Process can be allowed to exist, let alone be effectively promoted by some publicly funded researchers. If a drug was making people severely ill for three and half years it would be banned, wouldn't it?
