Britain waking up to M.E. on GMTV today

Today on GMTV Lorraine Kelly interviewed Kay Gilderdale who was tried for the attempted murder of her daughter Lynn. It was a moving interview handled very well by Lorraine. It brought me to tears. My fight myself to recover from M.E. goes on I had a very busy weekend and it all caught up with me on Monday when I could not cope with family life and had to go to bed. The severe fatigue causes me to not be able to speak or function normally, its horrible. I hope there is some hope from Kays appearance in the media that some funding will go into research for this disease.





I have fortunately been given a reprieve from the Job Centre as on my last visit on Friday 21st May was told that funding for courses was not available anymore. I said this was not fair and a case for me went up to the higher dept of the department for works and pensions for them to decide. They phoned me and said they would uphold the £150 pounds offered to me previously and I should try elsewhere for the balance as the course is £240. The Writers Bureau Ltd have been kind and said I can pay in installments so I will carry on my fight for help. Another form arrived today of numerous pages long, a survey for My ESA benefit, I think I will ask the benefits advisor to help as it is so complicated and does not do me any good if I get it wrong.





I hosted along with a fellow member the writing class recently. The form poems i suggested seemed to go down the best and here was one of mine.

Sun

Sand

Relax me

Unwind and Loosen

Sea Air Breathe Deep

Refresh and Invigorate

See the sights and Amaze me

Wish these seven days were eternity
