Cause of 'world's cruelest illness' could be laid bare by new research
Manifesting as unrelenting exhaustion, profound pain, memory difficulties and worsened mobility, ME/CFS is destroying the lives of 250,000 people in the UK, including children and teenagers
The cause of one of the world’s most cruel illnesses could be discovered by vital new research as funding is announced by the ME Association today.
The ME Association, a charity in the UK, has announced it is funding three new projects to help solve the mysteries of myalgic encephalomyelitis - also known as chronic fatigue syndrome - and how it is treated.
Manifesting as unrelenting exhaustion, profound pain, memory difficulties and worsened mobility, ME/CFS is destroying the lives of 250,000 people in the UK, including children and teenagers.
One in four are so severely affected that they are rendered housebound or bedbound - with some even reliant on tube feeding. Sufferers are often confined to their beds, unable to walk, and need help even to shower - an action that could cruelly then lay them low for hours, or even days.
There is no known cure - and worse still, there remain vast misconceptions and ignorance surrounding the illness - even in medical circles.
