ME in The Sunday Post

26 February 2024

The Sunday Post have released an article discussing the lack of support available to people with ME in Scotland.

The article tells the story of Stuart Brown, a research scientist who is no longer able to work because of his ME.

"Many of us feel abandoned when it is obvious that ME is as debilitating as other chronic illnesses."

Our Chief Executive, Sonya Chowdhury, is also featured, saying

“Stuart’s story is all too common. As many as 1.3 million people are affected by ME or similar symptoms across the UK and they are too often overlooked."

The article also mentions the pioneering research of DecodeME, of which Stuart is a participant.

The full article is available here.
