One of the TV new channels wants to catch up with this theme. It's something they've been wanting to do since the Prof Trudie Chalder press conference at the Science Media Centre earlier this month, which their reporter attended
I want the news film to catch the opposite vibe - that it is NOT fear or exercise and exercise avoidance that makes M.E. worse, that it is instead something far more deep-rooted in the way that the bodies of people with ME cannot cope with doing too much exercise – that over-exertion, physical or mental, can make them very ill indeed.
My strategy may not work, of course. It suddenly complicates the story for the reporter concerned. I left him all of a wobble...
So my question is this.
Is there anyone out there – preferably living in or close to London, Manchester or Birmingham – with a bit of a horror story to tell about their ME and what happened to them after exercise ,who would be prepared to do an interview on camera?
If so, please email me asap with your contact details and let me know whereabouts you live. If you can briefly let me know what happened to you when you did too much exercise, so much the better. I'm at
