a great article

She added: The Government wont fund research into ME because they dont recognise it as a physical illness.

They see it more as a psychological condition a problem in your head.

But we need biomedical research to find out whats happening in the bodies of people with ME so we can find a way to treat and hopefully even cure it in the future.

I was told there is no cure, I just have to manage my symptoms as best I can, said Kerry, whose doctor recognised the symptoms having suffered with the debilitating condition herself for six months.

I was told I had a good chance of recovery within five years because Im young, but here I am eight years later.

Six months???? I guess that might be enough time to experience severe fatigue to gain an understanding or at least an appreciation. But this sounds more like the same old line of "Must have had ongoing Fatigue for six months or more." Along with picking one of eight symptoms of which PEM is only one option thus the Doc had CFS/ME.

Wonder who diagnosed the Doc? As for five years I'm coming up on three years now suffering with these symptoms. I feel for her, at least she has the love of a husband. Someone would truly have to love you to marry anyone who has the medical problems that CFS/ME suffers have.
