Please complete if you've tried HBOT & have ME or Long Covid. It's a straightforward survey & doesn't take long to complete...max 15 mins.

Savannah Victora-May has been in hospital for 11 months with severe ME; a dearth of specialist treatment has contributed to her situation.

The Govt’s Final Delivery Plan committed to exploring a specialised service for very severe ME. *What* is happening to prevent more cases such as Savannah’s?

Former Irish League goalkeeper: β€˜Mystery illness made me think I was dying… it broke my heart to have to step away from pitch’

Jethren Barr admits he is coming to terms with his illness

Former South Africa and Portadown goalkeeper Jethren Barr says he doesn’t want to live a life full of bitterness and anger after a mystery illness slammed the brakes on his football career.
The 30-year-old, who still lives in Portadown, thought he was dying when he was hit by the β€œterrible illness”.
In June 2025, his life took a shocking and traumatic turn when medics informed him he had Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME), also called chronic fatigue syndrome.

An NHS hospital has withdrawn vital medication from a severe ME patient that enables her to tolerate food and fluids. She is now showing signs of dehydration following the removal of her IV fluids.
