The research investment deficit for ME/CFS compared to other illnesses

Following on from yesterday's post regarding the lack of investment into research of ME/CFS by governments past and present the above CrunchME graph shows clearly why no cure or treatments have been found. Three pounds per person per year for ME/CFS  research - 4 to 24 times lower than other conditions rising to 469 times lower than for Motor Neurone Disease (MND). The playing field needs to be levelled so all those who are in need of health care have a chance of  treatment and a route back to health and productive lives.

Thank you to all those who have shared their stories of suffering ME/CFS or caring for loved ones with the condition.  Together we stand together for the fight for research funding and justice. 

Andy Burnham please commit to more research funding and better care.
