Work & Pensions Committee Patients w/ ME are desperate to be well enough to work if thered been adequate funding for biomedical research into ME decades ago ME would be treatable we would not be suffering as we are, we would be able to work This needs to be addressed as a priority the fault is not with us
Dr James Davies (PhD) 💭 Get psychiatrists off the case of patients with serious disabling physical diseases such as ME, stop them taking the research funds and inciting medical abuse of the physically sick patients.

Unpaid carer's saved the UK economy over £162bn last year alone.
We'd like more support from the General Public please!

We must stop using euphemisms like 'breaking point' when describing the impact of caregiving.
Fuzzy problems➡️fuzzy solutions.
Precise words like self-harm, suicide & homicide➡️targeted, evidence-based solutions.
