Thanks to Siobhan Ryan for her thoroughly-researched and well-written piece about ME (The Argus, May 15).

Illustrated by Eastbourne teenager Ruth Fitzpatrick's case history, it will certainly make the people of Sussex more aware of this dreadfully debilitating illness.

It is being added to our round-up of coverage for ME Awareness Week 2006 on our website www.mefreeforall.org where it stands out as one of the best contributions we have received.
