Miranda Hart Opens Up On Secret Health Battle & Love At Last | This Morning

[@WelshToni]

I can’t thank Miranda enough for highlighting chronic fatigue conditions. It’s so good hearing my everyday experiences being spoken about!

[@rachelwebber2120]

Ive just started watching the Miranda sitcom and there's so much physical comedy in it to think she was dealing with chronic pain and fatigue at the time is mindblowing! I absolutely love love love the show I'm binging through it actually. Sad that I only have a couple of seasons to go now but I'll check out her other work after. Hilarious Lady, I wish her the best

[@nvrmnde]

oh that series will be with you forever. I have a comfort binge basically yearly, even though I know all bits by heart.

[@RosePetal17]

She is fantastically funny, isn’t she??!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@cherrlyn381]

I've binge watched the show (all seasons) three times and laughed knowing what was coming. Miranda is amazing. Loved her in "Not Going Out."

[@Battlady57]

I like Miranda.I loved her in Call the Midwife.she was so good.i hope she goes on to have better health.❤

[@reenb4124]

Thank You Miranda. A couple of weeks ago I heard about your journey. Myself 30 yrs plus dealing with Lyme that was late diagnosed, triggering so many other issues and constantly struggling with flu symptoms, and the extra pain in forcing yourself to get up and work everyday even though sometimes that causes more damage, it wasn't the path I had planned for myself. Now two weeks later, I realized that you made a difference in my life by sharing your story. Whilst I haven't read your book yet, I thank you.

[@FeckaDoodleD00]

As a fellow chronic illness/chronic pain fighter, I listened to Miranda reading this on Audible and ... I FELT HEARD! ❤ It's hugely informative! Miranda did some serious research. I will be buying a physical copy too because I want to bookmark, highlight & refer to it, as I too make my way through the darkness back into the light. Which feels much more possible since reading this book. Thank you, Miranda! Love from your "MDLC" ❤

[@NihonKaikan]

Cry me a river.

[@cherylp.3347]

Loved her show! We watch reruns all the time. Her lines have become imprinted forever in our brains and at appropriate moments they come out and we have a laugh. She’s made quite an impact on me, my daughter, and hubby. So sorry to hear of her health struggles! Glad she found love. ❤️

[@SueWatson-f5g]

I’ve had M.E 17 years now. It’s great to see Miranda talking on this morning. Any talk about M.E is great as most people I speak to done even know what it is or they have never heard of it. It changed my life completely. Lost friends, job and partner because of it. It is like living in a nightmare. Terrible pain and can’t even look after my grandkids as too tired.

[@babypicassoeisenstein]

sorry to hear that. losing friends sounds terrible what w4nkers. you're better off without them and your partner as well. was it a bloke? they usually abandon women when women are at their lowest because men cannot cope with not being the centre of attention.

[@SueWatson-f5g]

Yes a bloke but better off on my own. Thank you 🤩

[@jackienaiditch7965]

So sorry you have ME. I do, too. What a horrible illness to deal with. I, too, lost friends and had to leave my job. Luckily, my husband stuck with me. For that, I'll be eternally grateful. I have improved. I hope you have, as well.

[@susanarojo3906]

Even so, people don’t understand the level of fatigue.

[@Carla0297]

Great to hear someone in the public eye talk about fatigue - based conditions. They are completely debilitating. Thanks Miranda for opening up! 🫶🏼

[@C_Xx7xX]

Cured by a good diet and exercise

[@Carla0297]

​@@C_Xx7xX if only good diet and exercise was a miracle cure for everything. Unfortunately that's not the case.

[@C_Xx7xX]

@@Carla0297 Excuses

[@Carla0297]

​@@C_Xx7xXexcept it's not. I was in the best shape of my life when I started experiencing debilitating fatigue, leaving me without the energy to even get out of bed in the morning. I was diagnosed with PCOS when they found giant cysts on my ovaries, which is an endocrine disorder and can cause extreme fatigue. My partner is a registered nutritionist who was able to write me a diet plan and yes a good diet is very helpful but it's not a cure and that kind of attitude is very ignorant

[@charlottebruce979]

I'm a bit selfish I think fatigue based illness is better than chronic pain which I suffer from

[@naomibray5341]

It's breath of fresh air to see M.E being spoken about on a largely televised platform. I've had CFS symptoms since I were 11 years old and diagnosed when I was 15. I'm now 30. Back then, no one really knew what it was and it was scary. I'm so thankful to Miranda bringing awareness to this hidden illness. Let's hope it gets less and less where people's responses are "what's M.E?" Or "oh so you just get tired alot?" 🤦‍♀️

[@Oxford322]

She’s one of my favorite actors ! She’s also incredibly funny and brilliant - so happy for her ❤

[@alyzu4755]

I just love her! I'm so glad she's doing well, and speaking up about this. So many illnesses and disabilities aren't visible, and so many people are suffering.

[@carolmarshall4341]

[@CAZZIEK321]

I’ve had CFS/ME for 30 years and in some of those years life has been very full, (I’m laying a patio at the moment, just to give you a level of improvement), but it’s taken years of learning to listen for the signs that I’m over stretching myself. I was one of those people who couldn’t lift my head at one point. Visitors were lovely to see but also exhausting. If every year you improve a little, then cling to that hope, as I did. Eventually, I worked full time but only if I slept in the car through lunch, I could shop for hours, but only if I stopped for a cupper as I grew tired. Managing your energy is so important by only doing what feels manageable, whether it’s lifting an arm or walking 3m. It’s all keeping muscles working. Never give up and always hope that tomorrow will be an improvement, no matter how tiny.

[@egl3369]

I have chronic illness and it really is invisible. Feels very isolating at times. Good on her for bringing this issue to light.

[@CAZZIEK321]

I’m sorry to hear you feel isolated, but I completely get the complex emotions we go through. Not wanting to burden people, not being able to do things for our friends and families, not being able to join in, just feeling like there must be something better, just to name a few. It’s very lonely sometimes. Look for a support group online, it might help just to hear from others and to be able to share your feelings. Take care, you matter. X

[@peachesmcgee4795]

I'm one of the millions who have a similar illness.I'm so glad that Miranda is speaking up-Her book is helping me so much.

[@marilynbook4211]

I have ulcerative colitis and someone wrote, "if you want to know what the fatigue is like, stay awake for 3 days straight and then try and function" I am glad you finally got some answers.

[@coreygilles847]

[@Bexamina]

Oh my life!! That fatigue is so real. I have hEDS (hypermobility Ehlers Danlos Syndrome) and chronic, unending fatigue is part of the condition. I'm still learning how to pace myself, so I can get through a day. Many days I can't function. I'm glad you've shared your story. ❤️

[@Rachel-qo4ry]

Wading through treacle, exactly. Not being able to lift your arm/fork etc... so familiar! I had CFS/ME after contracting glandular fever EBV virus as a teenager and very slowly improved but never back to the person I was before. Experienced so much misunderstanding. So thankful to Miranda for raising awareness of this condition! Looking forward to reading the book!

[@nicolepowell5470]

It's so hard to explain about fatigue so well done Miranda. I have MS and the fatigue is dreadful, very hard at work to say i can't do that and people looking at me. Hidden health conditions are not easy to live with, i only work three days a week and my managers just don't get it and compare me to how other people work.

[@christinemoore7704]

My son was like that. His body was shutting down. We went to the NHS. They didn’t know what was wrong. Then we found someone who could help we found out he had Lyme disease, he drank 3 litres of water and took natural drops , now he is well Thankfully We thank God every day for this

[@jonnawyatt]

Natural drops?

[@sonyah6699]

Such a brilliant lady, I remember the many PJ parties we had watching Miranda re-runs over and over, doing gallops up our hallway ❤ I wish her well and so happy she found that special someone

[@cherylp.3347]

Voting for Trump gives you lime disease? I’m confused.

[@cookielicious82]

Loved the book ❤

[@ChronicAdvocate]

I've been sick with Lyme for years - my symptoms resembled ME and cause autonomic dysfunction and a wide range of neurological and gastrointestinal symptoms. The NHS doesn't help with long term treatment so we are forced to pay out of pocket despite 700 peer-reviewed studies showing Lyme and co-infections can persist despite antibiotics and therefore be chronic. So far treatment has helped 25% but more intensive treatment would likely help more if the NHS could give us appropriate care.

[@papabear2515]

It's not well, just improved. There's currently no full cure for ME sadly. Miranda still has days where she's wiped out - seen on Instagram. She's doing a fab job educating people on an area that causes misery for so many. That misery is compounded by other people "not getting it" and making you feel like you're exaggerating or lying - you're constantly being gaslit, which in itself is exhausting. This amazing woman is helping millions with her interviews! The book is great, I've just finished it.

How does one get it diagnosed?

[@MissCBwasadancer3]

I have Severe ME, POTS & MCAS - mine was triggered by vaccine injury. I was a dancer. I’m now 26 & I’ve been Bedbound since 2015, tube fed & IV fluid dependant since 2016 & now TPN for past 3 years. At one point I was oxygen dependent, non-verbal, having seizures & mast cell reactions daily. I was completely neglected by NHS so had to fundraise for private consultant & treatments. I’m glad this is being talked about by a public figure but Miranda’s experience doesn’t represent everyone’s. In her book it states she only addressed her symptoms by reducing stress/trauma & realising her true authentic self with behavioural techniques etc (which sounds like CBT and/or the lightning process). These have been completely disproven to aid any physical improvement and have infact caused patients harm. These were removed from NICE guidelines as a treatment and would only be appropriate to recommend CBT for ME patients with depression or struggling to cope as a result of the chronic illness & pain. I’m of course pleased she’s doing better but concerned she’s been a victim of one of these expensive mind-body programs that convince you that you can will yourself better (but when it doesn’t work it’s your fault, not trying hard enough!) or she’s been in spontaneous remission and going to relapse… Like many people who have had ME for decades tend to do. I’m not hating on her, I’m worried for her. She already got brainwashed into thinking she had agoraphobia and anxiety for years by incompetent doctors! 💔

[@melindahall5062]

Why did you need tube feeding? The fact that you are posting this long and complicated Message on KZbin makes me think you are somewhat able. I wonder why the NHS “ignored you”? How did you get TPN for 3 years. That requires a PICC line or another Central line. Who put that in? Things just don’t add up hon…….Physician here.

[@Bella-fz9fy]

I agree,feeling you are not able to able to pick up a glass due to fatigue is a bit different from being able to do it and then getting paralysed and having extreme malaise from your activity,I think that’s the difference between having chronic fatigue that could maybe respond to CBT etc and ME where you’re not just ill and fatigued,you’re body can’t do physical or mental activity without a severe deterioration.,and of course some people’s physical baseline can be extremely low like yours was.

You must of lived on the East Coast to get Lyme disease from deer ticks. I live in Southeast Pennsylvania and if it wasn't caught which actually shows a pink bulleyes target where bitten, you weren't ever given the antibiotics to deal with it then. Many deal with the after affects of it for years. So sorry you're dealing with it.

[@ameliesayshola8854]

Unfortunately the bull’s eye rash isn’t always present when someone is bitten by a tick with lyme’s disease. Lots of people diagnosed with Lyme’s had no idea they were ever bitten or noticed a tick on them.

[@susanarojo3906]

It’s been discovered that many other animals transmit Lymedidease, maybe even mosquitoes.

[@christinepizzi6197]

@ameliesayshola8854 really? I think it is just not seen....my daughter was bitten behind knee. To actually see it was very hard but stepping back to look with a trained doctor in southeast PENNSYLVANIA...capital of deer tick..that bulleyes was barely there but was not near the bite after a few weeks. That's why it's not seen...but there. And she told me when on vacation in Outer Banks...doctor there had no idea what to do. Your first name is the same as my know it all Amelia...so I guess with your medical degree you just had to correct me...thanks FKIA

@susanarojo3906 please send us proof.

[@ameliesayshola8854]

@@christinepizzi6197 no it doesn’t always show up! And that’s why so many people find it hard to get diagnosed because they never had a rash and the symptoms of Lyme’s match so many other diseases. I’ve done a lot of research on it because we used to find deer ticks frequently on my childhood dog (I grew up in Westchester County, NY, we got plenty of deer and ticks here too) and I was always worried about getting bit in my backyard and getting Lyme’s. In fact our dog did test positive for Lyme’s at one point, we had no idea he even had it. It was just a routine vet visit and the vet was like “oh by the way he has Lyme’s” (he got meds and lived to the ripe age of 15). My name isn’t Amelia, it’s Amélie 😊 not a know it all, just a hypochondriac. It’s a blessing and a curse.
