at least they were understanding enough with babeth to grant disability, when my M.E. was at its worst i was refused disability allowance, which made me feel more guilty that i was being a strain on the family as they were getting no support for my treatment, i feel this guilt did me no favors in getting better.

but yes i can understand how babeth can feel that way,

and it has only just in the last year been reconised as a proper condition medically over here
