Reading Group appears on You Tube again.

Reading Chronicle 5th June 2008

Reading ME Group is continuing its' campaign for better support services in Berkshire.

The group has hit the world wide web again, with a video on You Tube, calling for ME sufferers to take part in a Primary Care Trust needs assessment and lobby more money to be spent on services.

Members, also held an alternative therapy and coffee morning event, to mark ME Awareness week in May.

Group spokesman Eileen Shoosmith said, its very frustrating and it sometimes feels as though we are easy to dismiss, because we are people with low energy, we continue to struggle on a daily basis, let alone campaigning for a local service we need. It takes its toll and it is not the ideal way to get help, but pacing the work, helps to a great degree.

We were promised a support scheme in Berkshire in 2007, but no-one has contacted us about it since.

We approached the PCT and eventually a needs assessment is taking place, we hope that funding will occur following this.
