I honestly cannot stop shaking because Karina is finally being released and the nightmare at the neurocenter is actually over. This whole experience has been such an exhausting whirlwind but seeing so many people stand up for her makes me want to cry (the good kind of tears). We have …

I just spent the last hour reading through the postcards people are sending and it is honestly overwhelming to see so much kindness reaching out to her. It really feels like the message is finally cutting through the silence even if the hospital door stays shut for now because momentum like this is the only thing we have against such a total nightmare.

The count is creeping up toward that first hundred mark and honestly seeing those names roll in makes me feel like we might actually get someone to pay attention to where Karina is. Someone needs to send this link to a few more people because we really have to get this number moving faster before the hospital thinks we have lost interest.

ME is not a psychological illness, it is classed by WHO as neurological. Karina will however suffer psychological damage from her incarceration and the physical torture she is being made to endure. This is cruel and inhumane treatment of a very ill young woman.

It is disgraceful, in a country that considers itself progressive, that a woman can be forcibly removed from her home without any proper explanation and subjected to medical treatment that is likely to be making her condition worse. This without proper oversight or accountability.

I have sent a postcard to Karina and Ketty, saying that I had a relative with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Some days they could do things, some days they just lay on the sofa, too tired to do anything, even to watch TV. I think it helped that they decided what to do. The doctor recommended cranial osteopathy to reduce the headaches, and this gave them more energy. After 2 years, they got better, and they are now fine. I wish a better future for Karina and Ketty.

We fellow ME- sufferers, have to stand up for each other when we are too ill to fight for ourselves. What is happening to Karina is barbaric and inhumane, and it is even more shocking to realise this is happening in a European country in 2014. Denmark should hang its head in shame.

M.E. is a real illness, and even if it wasn't, taking a girl from her family is wrong and cruel and against her human rights. She must be returned to her family, the cruelty acknowledged, and regretted, and Denmark must accept that M.E. is an illness recognised by the United Nations.

I am petitioning the Hammel Neurocenter, Denmark, to release Karina Hansen. I am an RN (trained at Vor Frue Sykepleieskole, Oslo) and also have ME. My own treatment for it consists in strict anti-yeast diet, stress management, hormone replacement therapy, and pacing myself. You are way off-base in your treatment protocols. Do some research and release Karina. I refer you to Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum, the ME expert who set me on the right track.

There are documented cases of people dying due to enforced psychiatric treatment and diagnoses, imprisoned against their will. Sophia Mirza in the UK is one of the best examples who died as a direct consequence of her treatment. I pray that her captors be enlightened as soon as possible so that they will do the only right thing and free Karina.
