    It's a nice and effective article; thanks Rosie for putting yourself out there.

    Charles Shepherd's quotes are great. (@Russell Fleming)

    I think this is the second article that the Liverpool Echo has focussed on recently, both sympathetically written. Can @ladycatlover confirm this?

    Credit goes to our new PR manager John Siddle. He's really got the right contacts with the press and we have been trying to get the severe case studies we appealed for and received earlier this year into the press when and where we can. More is planned - as well as more general ME awareness studies - in the lead up and during ME Awareness Week, so stay tuned. But none of this recent activity could have been done without the very kind cooperation of the ME patient and/or their families for which I think we are all very grateful.
