Dr Shepherd, I was almost in tears toward the end of your video. Thank you. My son developed ME following viral meningitis when he was 13. He will soon be 32. He exists, but he cannot live a full life and it breaks my heart.

I too have the symptom of temperature regulation issues. I thought I was the only one.

I do too, as well as alcohol intolerance.

A very meaningful and succinct explanation of this debilitating illness.

Thank you for this clear, concise explanation; would you consider doing another video on PEM and pacing that we could share with health professionals and family/friends who struggle to understand this unique challenge for us? 🙏

Brilliant explanation, thank you Dr Shepherd.

Thank you so much Dr Shepherd - you’ve done so much to make people aware of ME over the years and to bring about its acceptance as a physical condition. I was packed off to a psychologist by my GP in 1989 saying’ it’s all in your mind’. It was actually the psychologist who reassured me I was not imagining it and helped me get an appt with a specialist. That was over 30 years ago. Since then ME has certainly impacted on my lifestyle. I still managed to achieved such things as a degree and to teach part-time. But the ME was always there. Sometimes in the background and sometimes very much at the forefront. I’m fortunate; I have a very supportive partner and my ME is not as bad as many sufferers.
