I reblogged this post What is wrong with all of you: because it echoes what I’ve been writing myself over the past couple of years, and was immediately taken to task (even though I didn’t write it), by someone who is a full-time carer and stuck at home.

The government can now see clearly that most people with ME don’t care how it’s designated, so why should they bother doing anything about it? Ever.
