Group's chair speaks of his own experience
A charity on the Isle of Man helping people suffering from ME is recognising 'Severe ME Awareness Day' today.
ME stands for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, also called chronic fatigue syndrome, and last year it was thought around 350 people on the Isle of Man suffered from it.
Around 25% of people with the post-viral condition are categorised as 'severe' cases.
Juan Corlett from ME Support Isle of Man has had the condition for ten years.
'This time last year I was starting to emerge from the worst of it. Being able to chat in a relaxed way, even for a couple of hours, is such a relief!'
His symptoms were severe between 2018 and 2020:
Ramsey residents 'shocked' at Looneys closure announcement
Two Manx high schools told to stop operating CCTV 'inside' toilets
King Gaming's license suspended amidst criminal investigation
Hopes new unit will reduce amount of time patients spend in hospital
Boxing: Burden hungry for glory on pro debut
Housing, VAT, climate and tourism among concerns raised by the East in government roadshow
