A black and white photograph of a shirtless man sitting on a bed, curled up with his arms wrapped around his knees and his head down. The room has white cabinets in the background, and the setting conveys a sense of isolation.

Art-collage: a colourful vintage-style background with rabbits, birds and flowers. In the middle there’s a photo of Greta, a young white blonde woman wearing a corset top and lying in bed with her eyes closed and blue tears painted on her face.

Severe and very severe ME affects about 25% of people with myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), with patients being housebound or bedbound at some point in their illness, typically needing to use a wheelchair, unable to do any kind of work or study, and often unable to do basic self-care activities unaided.
