I worked for nearly 30 years. Then I was bitten by a tick in uk. You have to have early essential treatment of huge doses of antibiotics to stop it spreading round the body. The nhs MIs diagnosed it for 18 months so by the time I got the antibiotics it was too late. Now I’m housebound disabled. After speaking with Lord Astor, ray mears, dr Miriam Stoppard and others the only thing to help is private treatments that aren’t even available on the nhs like ozone, HBOT, high dose infusions of vitamins, red light therapy. This private treatment is available in central London but none of us will be allowed to have it. I would love to get back to work and have my family back. If they would help us and people with ME there would be a whole workforce that want to get back to work. I miss everything my life used to be.
