This is the impact of noise in Very Severe ME; this is what is meant by "Noise Sensitivity". This is how my wife's whole day has been.
Very, very few know, even fewer understand.
A letter to Sir Andrew Dillon , Chief Executive, NICE
Stonebird 27th July 2017
Sir Andrew Dillon, Chief Executive, NICE
Dear Andrew Dillon,
Re : Myalgic Encephalomyelitis
I have cared full time, for 25 years, for my wife who has a diagnosis of Very Severe ME, my Nursing Standard article "Supporting people with severe myalgic encephalomyelitis" is referenced by NICE in the original 2007 guidelines. In 2015 I was third place finalist, BJN, Nurse of the Year, for which I received an award specifically for my work in raising awareness of and advocating for people with Severe ME. I was Secretary of the 25% Severe ME Group charity for many years and represented the Group at the Gibson Parliamentary Inquiry.
In February the Joint Commissioning Panel for Mental Health document published Guidance for Commissioners of services for people with medically unexplained symptoms – practical mental health commissioning, which misinformed Commissioners that Myalgic Encephalomyelitis is a Somatoform, mental health disorder.
The response, in a letter to me…
