Teenager took his life after suffering years of ill health with ME/CFS

Teenager took his life after suffering years of ill health - Eastbourne Today

Contains: A teenager took his own life after struggling to come to terms
with having ME/CFS (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome). Guy
Ramsey was diagnosed with the condition when he was 12 and as a result had
to take time off school and was often in pain ... A statement read out on
behalf of Guy's mother, Alison Ramsey, who attended the inquest, explained
that he would often become withdrawn and irritable ... "I said how much I
loved him and how proud I was of him but he said he was fed up and wanted to
get better." ... Assistant deputy coroner Kate Palmer recorded a verdict of
suicide.

Just too sad, a truly depressing condition with very little help, support or even treatment available for patients with ME/CFS
