It's not a topic I'm that familiar with so I found it a bit abstract: I would have preferred more examples

“It’s heart-breaking when the people we trust don't trust us, that we are doing our best and know what we are saying. Don't believe in us. Relationships are ripped apart by this. And they have a lasting effect on us, what we perceive as our self-worth and new relationships. And it happens a lot.”
“I'm Katie, I’m 18 and living with #VerySevereME. I live my life in one room, always in my bed.“

New Video: Very Severe #MECFS is a debilitating condition causing profound suffering and life threatening symptoms. They are bedridden and dependent on care. Most doctors have had no training; leading to misdiagnosis, Inappropriate management and medical neglect.

On #SevereMEday (August 8), I remember my friend Ruth Nolan from Glasnevin, Dublin, Ireland who has spent 3 decades bedbound with #SevereME
For 14+ yrs she has had #VerySevereME : she's only able to have a few very short conversations & very little cognitive/mental stimulation☹️

One month ago to August 8, severe ME day.
I have a Pinterest board with 564 pins on severe ME/CFS here https://www.pinterest.ie/tomkindlon/mecfs-severe-mecfs-mecfs-myalgic-encephalomyelitis/ that could be shared around. It mainly contains images but also links to videos and articles.
You don't need to be on Pinterest.

I can’t keep up with life and am missing out on medical care because doctors don’t understand how bad having #VerySevereME plus a dozen other diseases is. And this is before they understand how bad my environment is. Last GP was abusive himself.

Includes a two-minute interview with a woman bedbound with #SevereME whose weight dropped so low she needed a nasogastric tube for feeding. Also featured is a young woman who is now a long term patient in a hospital.

At 4am on Saturday 17th June, Wayne – the father of an 18-year-old girl who has been unable to get out of bed for months because of her severe M.E. – will gather with friends at Hagley Golf Course just outside Stourbridge to play four complete rounds of the course by sundown.

A patient advocate who I respect plugged this, saying:
·Should not take more than 30 minutes, depending on your responses.
·Open for 2 months.
