Anil van der Zee was a professional ballet dancer before becoming ill with ME. In a recent blog post, he describes his experiences of becoming ill and attempting GET and CBT from his unique perspective as a dancer.
"Everyone ignored my problem with PEM. Or is not aware of it. Linking this disease only to chronic fatigue. Advising a professional dancer to maybe move a bit. I mean really? To a dancer? Never thought of that."
