ME -Very Sad News from Denmark....

[Guest guest]

From Hansen

Very sad news from Denmark:

Danish Board of Health threatens to commit seriously ill

ME-patient to a psychiatric hospital.

The Danish Board of Health says that the diagnosis

of ME is the same as insanity and wants to forcibly

remove a 23-year old woman, Karina, from her family

home.

This could happen as soon as May 2nd.

Karina is totally bed-bound, is extremely light and sound

sensitive and is too weak to talk. .

She is so extremely ill that there is a real chance that a

move could be fatal.

Karina's parents have been trying to get permission to set

up an IV at home to help keep Karina alive, but instead the

health department decided that Karina is mentally ill and

should be removed.

The family has been repeatedly told by Danish doctors that

the diagnosis of ME is not recognized.

" They do not understand how sick an ME-patient can be with

this disease and their ignorance can now have fatal

consequences for Karina "

says Hansen, Chairman of the ME Association in

Denmark.
