I would just like to thank you for putting on a wonderful conference full of excellent speakers and a wealth of information regarding severe ME.
 
I consider myself to be one of those severe sufferers that you were highlighting this year and I also have a fiancee at home who also has severe ME for the last 20 years, so I am grateful to Invest in ME for bringing it to the attention of a wider audience. 
 
I was delighted to see in attendance also my consultant and two of his staff which I think was vital for him to gain a better understanding about severe ME. 

I was especially pleased of the video that was shown really showing severe ME as this I think gave a very moving account of what it was to be in that position and would of had a huge impact on those watching it.

 
Once again thanks for an exciting conference with excellent speakers. I shall look forward to the DVD.

Thank you for a really excellent conference. I particularly found Dr Nicolson's presentation helpful to bring all the strands together.

Just a brief note to thank you all for having arranged and managed another excellent conference last Friday.

 
Virtually all the speakers had some interesting details and news to convey, but I felt that the findings on H2S as presented by Professor Kenny de Meirleir were particularly interesting and important, even though he and his team may have to do another study to demonstrate that this kind of abnormality is not present in a different control group of patients suffering from another chronic or serious disease, before the test he proposes will stand a realistic chance of being accepted as a diagnostic tool.
 
It was also rewarding to hear and read of the remarkable recovery of some of the Norwegian patients under Professor Meirleir's supervision and guidance.  So there's hope at last, I trust in the not too distant future.

the conference was extremely well attended - in terms of feedback it was re-assuring to hear that  the academics are making clearer connections and encouraging the clinicians to think about the implications of these variables when treating patients.

As voiced by many on the day, it seems a shame that the desperately needed tests and measures to confirm possible onset are not readily available and possibly the reason why there still remains a very" them and us" culture in the UK.

The breaks and the opportunity to discuss patients individual experiences was also invaluable- I even came away with details of tried and tested interventions, which I will definitely pass on to my patients.
