OMG. This would have been both quite topical and updated had it been sent today.

All the years that have been lost on nonsense..

This series of videos is worth watching if only to see a very young Nancy Klimas.

Made 25 years ago when sufferers in the US they were calling ME CFIDS.
I watched all six parts (ignore the title as it doesn't really seem to relate to the film).
The patients are saying the same things, the doctors also, even the scientists.............early versions of millions missing protests, 'things are changing' messages, 'we should have some answers in the next couple of years', ampligen...........etc etc lots of deja vu.
