Sorry to distract from the project but there is something very important to me that I would like to share with you all.
You may know by now that I have bad health. I suffer from a illness called M.E.
This illness is very misunderstood and is easily judged as something to belittle. Not only from the media and the public. But also from health professionals, care workers and the government agencies set up to protect us.
I myself was put through the court systems of social services because I was miss judged and deemed to be making my illness up.
I am still haunted by the effects today and do not go to the doctors for this reason. I have many symptoms that could be possible be helped. But because of misunderstanding and a lack of belief, they are not.
Recently a movie was made, showing the plight of many people with M.E. The struggles they go through. And the unbelievably sad circumstances that can happen from them.
I would like anyone who can to watch this movie. It is not long and will not take much out of your day. But it will I hope, help towards your understanding and enlightenment of this terrible dieses.
It is called Voices from the Shadows and can be purchased here
Please, even if you can’t watch this movie, at least watch the trailer and maybe pass it on to your friends.
I cannot possible do this movie justice, or even put into words how important it is to me. So I shall leave it to the capable hands of one who can.
This is a review of the movie and one of the best pieces on this subject I know of by Scott J Harris.
Thank you for your time and business will now resume........
