Rejected petition Stop the closure of the ward at the Glasgow Centre for Integrative Care
As a person with M.E, C.F.S, & Fibromyalgia I find myself lucky to have access to such a ward.
This is an illness with no real treatment or cure, & we need to learn to manage symptoms. Spending time in the ward helps dramatically with this.
More details
In the ward I was surrounded by staff who listened, and who understood the challenges of living with a chronic illness and how it affects everything in your life.
As someone with very little energy, a week in the ward allowed me to access the classes I simply couldn't have come back and forth to the hospital to attend.
People with M.E have very little in terms of specialist help. Taking away the ward would be taking away one of those rare services.
Please, help us keep it.
