Sufferer speaks of her struggle
An ME sufferer on the Island has been telling Manx Radio about her personal experience with the condition.
Joan has lived with it for the past 13 years or so.
She has decided to tell her story, after hearing Manx Radio's interview with Dr Charles Shepherd this week.
Dr Shepherd, medical advisor to the British ME Association, has said misdiagnosis, and a lack of effective on-Island support is hindering sufferers.
Joan told Ed Oldham these are things she has experienced herself:
Cost of off-Island healthcare treatment almost £2m higher than forecast over five-month period
Options for Tramway Terrace expected in the next eight weeks
Organisation welcomes news of Milan extension
AI workshop findings to shape forthcoming national strategy
Island residents urged to report possible Asian hornet sightings
