For those of you that don't already know, I am currently housebound with severe ME. There is precious little medical research or treatment for people like me and sufferers are largely left to fester by the medical profession and in many cases, treated as if their illness is purely psychological. 

Thankfully, attitudes to M.E are changing and you can help by sponsoring me for 'The Big Sleep for M.E'. Due to my physical limitations, I can't do much so me and my fellow chronically ill Twitter friends have decided to dress up as princesses on May 12th to coincide with M.E Awareness Day. It may not sound like much to you healthy folk but it's our way of doing what we can to support a great charity. Please support us - there are over 250,000 sufferers of this terrible and life-destroying illness in this country alone.
