We got this request this morning from the Limerick Today show on Live 95 FM:
--
"Ahead of the Limerick event next week, would you have a Limerick resident who suffers from ME and would be willing to chat about it on our show? I'm looking at next Tuesday morning?"
--
Please get in touch if you think you would be available. It would be a terrible shame if the opportunity to raise awareness and understanding was missed. -

The upcoming 5 Dr Amolak Bansal events involve a lot of resources (both money & time/energy) so we are spending some money on advertising.
Here is one ad going in the Cork Independent.
Note: Typo. The speaker's name is Dr Amolak Bansal

Thanks very much to our member, Éabha Melvin, for doing this interview today on Nuacht TG4 to mark May 12.
This clip was posted on X. On tv, the newsreader also said a little about it by way of introduction.

Today is #MEAwarenessDay!
The Swedish study finding 1 in 5 people with hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome #hEDS or hypermobility spectrum disorder #HSD (which the EDS Society found are the same) have myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome #MECFS #pwME: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7485557/
The study found 20% #pwME studied had #hEDS and 50% had #HSD
This study was prior to the 2026 reclassification merging HSD and hEDS
Given 2026 changes, 44 hEDS + 115 HSD = 159 hEDS of 229 is 69.43%

CW: Severe ME, death, suicide
Symptom severity ranges from mild to very severe. But even so-called "mild" ME/CFS has an enormous impact what a person can do.
With severe ME/CFS the person is mostly housebound or completely bedbound.

I had a stressful dream last night, maybe appropriate for May 12! In the dream, I have a new or stand-in GP [family physician] and I am trying to persuade them to sign a disability form. They are smirking away, not very sympathetic. So I have to list my symptoms and losses over the years.

I actually deteriorated over time, through following exercise, like many others with #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis.
Improving or even stabilising is not the only possible outcome following an infection.
Plenty of research shows a significant percentage of those with #LongCovid satisfy #MECFS criteria
Unfortunately, through a lack of research, proven effective treatments don't exist for ME so people can be left languish for decades with debilitating symptoms, like I have been
