looks like an advert for a £500 miracle machine to me, wonder what the sun was paid for that, I think if this machine really worked the nhs would give it us and get us all back to work instead of paying millions of pounds out for medication and specialist.

It seems from reading the replies to the article that alot of people are thankful to this article, hopefully it's put a lot of peoples mind at rest but also educated the small minded, ignorant people out there that it is a real illness; a very debilitating illness at that. Fingers crossed more comes from this?!?

Your right Nuttytataruk2003, I think we all wish we had a spare £500 for that 'miracle' machine. If it really does amazing this for our illness then the NHS should think about getting these, it would certainly save NHS and benefits etc a lot of money.

Hope you're all doing ok xx

So sad and shocking it can affect people so young. Lets hope this article does some good and educates and helps the government help teachers/bosses/colleagues/friends/families etc help and support us c

Well, let's hope when he writes his weekly article that there is some form of apologie and or retraction from him?! Good idea about posting it in Facebook, will do that now too especially for my work mates to see as I think they think I'm just shying away from work x

Thanks for link interesting read. Lou x

I remember that article, it caused a lot of people to be very angry. At least the Sun has done something to highlight our illness and the impact it has on life. xx
