I can't for the life of me remember her name, although I think I should (sorry if its someone who already posted!!!) but there was someone who had her title thingie that subs get as the 'spoon of thoughtfullness', and i'm pretty sure she was an ME sufferer.
I had a friend who had it, well, has it, and spent four years off school, basically going back and repeating the start of lower sixth every year and giving up after two weeks. Shes finally just decided to go to college, and I think shes stuck to it pretty well now!
