Action for ME presents it's findings from a recent survey. An investigation of the survey and treatments for ME is on Radio 4's File on 4 on Tuesday at 20:00 BST

Sonya Chowdhury, CEO of Action for ME, who herself has children living with ME said;

"If people are not believing a child about an illness even when there is a diagnosis, those children are facing a double whammy.Not only have they had their lives stolen as a result of illness, they've had their lives affected and traumatised as a result of the system"

We sooooo.................need a button to show our disapproval to these findings :X ,so parents/guardians/carers feel like they are labelled as Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy by all accounts!!

However on the positive side the charity is highlighting the issue using the BBC platform and will be discussing it tonight. Tune in if you'd like to listen to the debate about these awful statistics

Sending best wishes to you all
