A piece "A Hidden National Scandal Exposed" at:
http://tinyurl.com/d7ygm
 i.e.
http://www.pressbox.co.uk/detailed/Health/A_Hidden_National_Scandal_Exposed_50825.html
 gives more information about the "Meridian TV Expose" mentioned below:

"..In a programme made by Meridian Television and broadcast by the
voluntary organisation, Invest in M.E., severely affected sufferers
explained the devastating effect the illness has had on them and their
families. The shocking effects are most clearly seen
- with Suzy, who spent 2 years in a near coma state living in an icy,
darkened room where no-one except her parents could visit because she
was so light and noise sensitive,
- and Lauren who, having been ill since the age of 12 is, at 20 years
old, mostly bed-bound and some days too weak to even read or watch TV.
As Suzy's father, Roger explains "Suzy was in a "living death"
state for the first two years after her illness became really severe.
Many would still regard her as such since her condition remains very
sad.""
