Whenever I hear talk on the news in UK about the post office scandal, it always makes me compare the plight of ME/CFS sufferers with them. The years of dismissal and totally not listened to. And for many our distress has lasted much longer.

Many in UK who ran post offices were accused of fraud when the problem was actually an I.T. system error. A bit like us who've it's been suggested aren't ill

It's absolutely crazy that the government there just took that story and ran with it and were not willing to change courses at all at any time just to say, "Um...maybe we were wrong about this since it's happened to so so SO many employees."

Same with this disease. It's a lunacy on their part. Honestly. At some point you would think they would question what they've assumed but nope.
