Voices from the Shadows discussion

I went to medical school for 4 years. Then moved to Hollywood to become an actress in motion pics. I was an intelligent, very active, athletic, very ambitious and driven person. At age 30, I was cut down in the prime of my life by this horrible disease. A sudden onset of flu like symptoms, but I knew I would never be the same again. Have every classic symptom in the book. Here I am, 25 + years later and much worse overall. Still no cure, no research, no hope, no change, basically being considered a malingerer by most doctors, friends and family. There will be hell to pay, literally, by all the people responsible in governments, medical professions, researchers, insurances, bureaucrats and the likes. J'accuse! This disease robs us of our dignity, our life, our intelligence. But you arrogant, ignorant and uncaring people will not escape judgement. You will stand before the ultimate judge and you will be held accountable by God for your inhumanity!

What a horrible illness, can only think how fortunate I am to only be mildly suffering... Still cannot believe how much it continues to be ignored by some medical professionals

Have Just bought the DVD, I suffer moderately but seeing this makes me realise how lucky I am not to be more severely affected. So sad :-(
