Severe M.E. Day - 8 August

10/8/2018

 
Severe M.E. was featured on BBC Radio 5 live - in the Afternoon Edition programme. 
You can listen to the ME/CFS feature at - www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0bd75rp  - it begins at 2hrs 8mins into the broadcast.  It followed the 3pm news and continued until about 3.35pm.

Dr Charles Shepherd, the ME Association Hon. Medical Adviser, was interviewed by presenter Nihal Arthanayake, along with a former university student suffering from severe M.E.  The feature also included pre-recorded interviews from Gary Burgess and Merryn Crofts' sister Amy Williams, and feedback from listeners about their experiences.

Around one in four people with M.E. are severely affected by the condition. They are house or bed bound, unable to properly care for themselves or even wash properly, with some even reliant on tube feeding.  Many people with M.E are light and sound sensitive, with people with Severe M.E. often forced to live their lives in darkened rooms.
