Another local article with Dr Mark Harper, chair of the Cambridge ME support group. He seems to be doing a great job at reaching out. The article is quite long and first focuses on his own personal story with ME/CFS, then in the second half the general situation of the disease is mentioned too, as well as the similarity to long covid (discussed by Dr Charles Shepherd).
Dr Mark Harper also talked talked a lot about ME/CFS politics, the current situation of GET and CBT as a treatment for it in the UK, etc in this previous article: https://www.s4me.info/threads/possi...ovid-19-long-covid.14074/page-211#post-343141

Mark Harper, 68, a retired physicist from Cambridgeshire, has shared his experience of living with the condition, which he has had since his 30s.
"I only shower once or twice per week because I can’t afford the energy. If I have a shower- that’s it. I can’t do anything else for the morning," he says.
"I can manage 3 or 4 hours a day upright, and the rest of the time I have to rest. And I am one of the less ill people with ME."
