The main part of this article is, 'As a result of the disease, Kirsty found

herself spending long periods of time indoors, unable to exercise and with

nothing to do but comfort eat. " I suffered from the psychological side of

ME, I wasn't able to go out with my friends and I was very down. The weight

went on and that would make me feel worse. " Because I couldn't exercise, the

weight piled on " .'

In my response, below, which you can read when logged in and click to the

original article, I make the point that it is a crucial flaw of the NICE

guidlines that they encourage people to exercise when they are ill.
