@Shawn, I just wrote in a thread that I was lucky that I was given good care by the NHS and after reading your experience I feel quite stupid. I guess NHS has very clear boundaries here in UK.
M.E. is still unproven as a physical disease according to NHS. You only get symptoms treated which is very annoying. I was given good care for the symptoms.
However, as I go along life I guess I lost my health, to me valuable time of my life, I gradually stop working, I lost my fertility, I lost friends, family members are not in touch etc, but symptoms were treated to a degree. And this is as much as you can get.
I don't know what else to say, I feel very sad.
I hope you continue to fight and get a proper cure, not symptom relief and hold on to your health, you are still young. I feel I lost the fight, it is difficult to fight when you're not well.
Lastly, I live and tried private health sources abroad, even within their NHS. I was treated with respect and no one ever wanted to kick a patient. I have never came across this yet. However, in UK I have witnessed this. Not excepting the lack of service here in UK is not excepted, and even physical force is justified somehow. If this is not oppression I don't know what is?
