Dr Vance Spence welcomes Prince Edward
On April 7th 2009, ME Research UK was honoured with a visit from His Royal Highness The Prince Edward, who met the team and was introduced to the work of the charity:
Dr Vance Spence, Chairman, explained that despite its popular perception as 'Yuppie Flu', ME/CFS is a serious, often disabling, chronic illness, causing impaired mobility and disability in the majority of cases, and that serious biomedical research was urgently needed.
Thy do such wonderful work with a tiny amount of money.
ReplyDeleteJust think what they could do if they had the millions of pounds that has been given to the psychiatric profession by the MRC over the past 20 years to perpetuate the ridiculous idea that a serious, devastating neurological illness can also somehow be a somatoform disorder.
They might have a diagnostic test and even a cure by now.Instead ME sufferers continue to be abused by being offered useless CBT & harmful GET as primary treatments for a physical illness.
