Summary
Otter 85559, 72, developed ME after a bad attack of flu 23 years ago and was initially so depleted that bathing, dressing and doing her hair took all her energy. She gradually began recovering, then nearly died of pernicious anaemia; doctors dismissed her for over 10 years and diagnosed it only when she was rushed to hospital unconscious. She later said a vaccine had no noticeable effect, but gave no current ME/CFS outcome.
