2024 was the year my 18 year-old daughter's symptoms deteriorated and we have had to learn all about ME/CFS, POTS, dysautonomia etc.

I have been shocked to find that NHS provision is so limited, and angry to find that our experience with a dismissive GP was very much the norm. In a year when my beautiful girl should be going off to university, she now lives a very limited life and I am her full time carer. Finding a community on Substack has been everything, and the work that you all do in fighting for recognition and action, while surviving your own challenges, gives us some hope for the future. Thank you ❤️

Thank you so much Karen. I’m wondering if those of us who try to keep posting on social media could somehow link to accelerate your key strategies beyond reposting. Though very cognitively limited I’m sure a lot of us would love to build on your ideas being pro-active rather than constantly reactive.

As ever I’m so grateful to the three of you for bringing fresh hope to the community.

I’m so very sorry about James’ continuing problems. As ever I’m tentatively hoping for a miracle.
