Here's an interesting article about an MP who is calling for an inquiry into Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E.):

Norwich North MP Ian Gibson has been calling for an inquiry into Myalgic Encephalomyelitis for the last year and the first comprehensive report into the condition will be made available in July.

The inquiry is aimed at dispelling myths that ME is just “yuppie flu” or does not really exist and to carry out more research to establish the causes of the illness.

[Ian Gibson said] "I know many people, some of them GPs, who still believe people with ME are fakes and are making their illnesses up."
