Six years ago, Beth Dobbin was competing at the highest level of international sport, representing Team GB at the Tokyo Olympics. Now, she is bedbound for up to 22 hours a day after being diagnosed with ME.View quoted post on X
Commonly known as chronic fatigue syndrome, the condition has been described by Dobbin as “life-decimating”.
She has written a letter calling on the Prime Minister to meet with her and commit to more funding for research.
Dobbin’s fellow athletes Keely Hodgkinson, Tom Daley and Dina Asher-Smith have also signed the letter. #ME #illness #Olympics
“This health issue has nothing out there for you… There are specialist clinics, but they don’t have any doctors… It’s life decimating. I’m in bed 22 hours of the day”View quoted post on X
