I only caught the end of it. Did anyone see it this morning at about 7:30?

Not a bad report. I was shocked at the state of the first woman. I know they have given her a diagnosis of cfs, but it is not the same illness I have, or not the same level of illness at least. Very troubling if it is the same illness. What makes it worse in her?
There is also an ABC radio report on CBT, which wont play for me. However it appears to be pro-CBT.

I was quite shocked at the way this lady was walking. I have not seen this level of severity before.

The lady "Amity" has ME/CFS and lyme disease. This walking style is indicative of late stage neurological lyme disease. She chose to focus on the CFS/ME aspect of her illness to help gain more public awareness of ME. I'm part of a lyme group in Australia and Amity spoke openly about the need for more recognition of ME. It seems a little misleading by not mentioning the lyme, but if it brings more ME publicity then it achieved its purpose. It was a brave move by Amity
