I think this is one of the most important pieces of writing about M.E.
Very moving and highlights severe M.E.
I feel both sad and angry reading it and I'm not usually emotional.
I wonder if these doctors try patients on strong opiates before going along with the assisted suicide?
It seems common sense to me that if someone is ill to the point of wanting to die they should receive the
best palliative medicine available to see if it helps them at least enough to not want to die.

This makes me so angry. Not that she chose to end her suffering, but that no doctor helped her enough so she could at least have a few hours a day of joy. It sure does sound like she has symptoms of an autoimmune disease to me. My doctors after 10 years started treating me like I have one with serious immune therapy and guess what. I am no longer suffering 100% of the day and enjoying some aspects of my life again.
This is such ashame.
Why create all the drugs we have in modern society if we are not willing to at least try them on someone as ill as she was before signing off for the final time.
