I really did not think this would gain this much steam so quickly and honestly it feels like people are finally starting to listen to what we have been saying for ages. It is wild to see this moving so fast because I honestly just started this out of pure frustration one night and now here we are with so much momentum that I am honestly having a hard time keeping up with the notifications.

Please stop letting a celebrity with no medical knowledge whatsoever from commenting on this serious illness.

ME is a physical illness not psychosomatic.
To suggest that ME is, in any way, psychosomatic & can be treated by addressing some sort of perceived dysfunctional thinking is both cruel & insulting. Such suggestions, & the people responsible for making them, are ignorant & arrogant in equal measure!

She has absolutely no business spreading misinformation about a disease she knows nothing about. Its dangerous and really harmful to patients.

Having worked for the BBC in the past, I am well aware of Esther Rantzen's reputation and the views of people who worked with her, and who knew what went on behind the scenes and behind the public face. Commenting on M.E., is just typical of her.
