Breakthrough Prayer 9pm GMT Saturday 2nd April 2011

    April 2nd 2011
    The symptoms of Severe ME
    The symptoms of severe ME are overwhelming.

    When there is no energy, no ability, limited thought and a constant onslaught of symptoms affecting so many different systems of the body it is hard to find ways to cope with the day, the hour , the moment you find yourself in.

    When things feel bad, empty, intolerable, desperate, then more than any other time this is when we need to cling to God and hold on to Hope: Hope for a better moment, hope for a real change in Government Policy, hope for a biomedical Breakthrough.

    Hope for a change of hearts and minds. Hope for something good to happen. Hope for comfort and an easing of the painful distressing onslaught of the illness Hope in God's Love to bless you right now.

    Hope defeats despair.Hope lifts us up into the Heart of Love. Hope lifts us up to God's realm where miracles happen and joy is complete. Hope helps us through the most difficult of moment.

    Let us ask always then to live in Hope and Trust that it will be so.

    Let us Pray that the Breakthrough Prayer we pray each week will be answered . We pray that not only will it be answered, but it will be answered now. We place our Hope fervently in God and Trust he will hear and answer our request. Amen.

Linda's response to the BMJ

Feature : Medical Research  :   Dangers of research into chronic fatigue syndrome Nigel Hawkes BMJ   2011 ; 342 : doi: 10.1136/bmj.d3780  (Published  22 June 2011 ) [ Extract ]   [ Full text ]   [ PDF ] Who are the real victims ? Linda Crowhurst ,  Very Severe ME patient Norfolk Because a few people are behaving inappropriately, it does not mean that the real physical needs of people with neurological ME are not a genuine issue. It does not mean there are not valid issues about PACE that are right to be raised. It does not make the findings of the PACE Trial any more valid for people with ME - and it certainly does not negate the ongoing biomedical neglect of patients, which is directly a result of the confusion that the psychiatric lobby has created , regarding the proper treatment of ME, a WHO-classified , serious neurological disease. Nor does it make right the implication that ME is a mental health condition requiring therapy as treatment. Peter White , the lead investigator o

The  psychiatric abuse   of Children with ME : some notes from the literature Greg Crowhurst 19 th August 2011 It is not that easy gathering together the information on this subject; yet it is so important !

Fifteen year old Leanne Murray has severe ME and struggles with a range of unpredictable symptoms of ME including nausea, muscle pains, post exertion fatigue and light sensitivity.  “ When Lorraine took her to hospital with chest pains, doctors said there was nothing they could do.  Leanne was sent home with no treatment and the consultant reported her mum to social services.   A week later a social worker arrived on their doorstep in Coatbrid

We Remember: A poem for 8th August, Severe ME Understanding and Remembrance Day

Image
We remember them with sadness that they are no longer here with us  We remember them with frustration that they were not helped We remember them with anger that they are gone For we remember  All the hurt All the denial All the extremity of pain All the neglect All the harm All the harrowing moments All the suffering All the grief And we weep with gratitude For their precious lives For their tremendous personal strength For their utmost conviction For their forthrightness in speaking out For their passion in life For their compassion to others In a hostile, empty world. We remember and give thanks For who they were And who they will always be In our hearts.
