A 10-year-old girl from Plymouth who suffers from Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E.) has reached thousands of people across the world through a video posted onto Facebook, where she tries to tackle stigma against the condition.
Shannon Tiday says she is angry about a new and controversial treatment, which suggests M.E. can be treated as a psychological illness.
She's had messages of support from sufferers in Europe, Canada and even Australia
