Open Door - M.E.

I really enjoyed the films of ME/fibro. I have been a sufferer for about 8 years now. I Still find it hard to believe that there is not the support out there for sufferers and also carers. I am a counsellor by profession and often see clients who have ME or fibro and still to this day I get shocked by the treatment they receive from their GPS.
lisacounselling@fsmail.net is my email if anyone would like to talk or just correspond with me x

Thanks To all the people that took part in these videos, its great to watch a doctor talking freely about the real M.E and not the CFS/ME that the Simon Wesleys of the world imbed in the nations brains..M.E is not a mental illness and it isnt all in our heads...it was very refreshing for me to see these videos today.. i just wish there was more to view.. its a shame that Dr Roz Vallings, does not practice in the UK, as i would love to be one of her patients, as i am with a doctor that seems to think that filling me up with anti depressants(PROZAC) and packing me of to a Phyciastrist will solve all my problems.. my doctor will not agree to my previous doctors diagnoses and another private specialits diagnoses..
So at the moment and last 8 months i have been going through hell... These videos have given me some hope that i will find a doctor, with the undestanding that Dr Roz Vallings has and will get the help and support that i truly deserve.. Thanks again.. and good look in recovery to all the M.E sufferers in the video's... X x X

Thank you for producing this video. I have Fibromyalgia (a "cousin" of M.E.), but through my support group I have several friends with M.E..
I am particularly pleased that the video focused on the meaningful physiological research being done on M.E. - as opposed to the bogus "research" that is done by some psychiatrists who are adamant about inappropriatly forcing M.E. into the "psychiatric" category. Here in the USA, the complaint I hear most often is that medical people still think M.E. (called CFS here) is a psychiatric illness (this is partly due to our insurance laws here, which allow insurance companies to provide less coverage for "mental" than "physical" illnesses - and the insurance lobbies work hard to keep government research grants from going to solid physiological research).
