ME and me
 Listen to the item
ME is a painful and debilitating illness. What's worse is that Post Viral Fatique Syndrome - or Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, to give it its proper title, is a condition that for many years wasn't even recognised by the medical profession.聽
Lee Dunlop's two children Jonathan and Jenny, who is 5 years younger, both had ME when they were little. Jonathan, had a relatively mild form of it for 4 years, and is now fully recovered. But Jenny suffered all the very worst symptoms of ME and is still battling with it.聽Jenny is now 26 and she and her mother came into the studio to describe their experiences of the past聽twenty-four and a half years.聽
Jenny Dunlop's booklet, Dreams Wander On is聽published by Amhurst Publishing and is available from The Heart of Kent Hospice, Preston Hall, Aylesford, Kent, ME20 7PU.聽 ISBN 1 903637 39 2
