ME sufferer says research should be on physical symptoms - BBC radio

29 July 2011

A group of scientists working on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, or ME, say
they are being subjected to a campaign of abuse and intimidation that
is hampering their work.

Researchers have received death threats and been subjected to a series
of complaints alleging personal and professional misconduct.

Quentin Cruse has had ME for 25 years and told Radio 5 live Breakfast
that more research should be on the physical symptoms.

The interview can be heard here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-14342161
