Dad: What’s wrong with our daughter? (From Echo)

• "I'm not getting this at all. She was taken in to hospital, they diagnosed her with ME, the symptons she is suffering make that a likely diagnosis. The parents didn't like the diagnosis, which is normal as a lot of people do not believe ME is a real illness, it is. The hospital obliged the parents by carrying out a scan and found some fattyness around the liver and sludge in the gall bladder, which they quite rightly pointed out is very common in girls of this age, nothing any doctor would be concerned about, especially as the exhibited symptons are completely unrelated.
  ME will result in severe pain at times, it can happen in any area of the body but it isn't uncommon for it to manifest itself exactly as described.
  The parents say they are worried she might have liver or gall bladder disease, this can be easily discounted following a simple blood test which would have been carried out as routine. She, according to the echo reporting, is not exhibiting any of the main symptons of either of these diseases so it seems very unlikely these would be the problem.
  My best advice would be to stop pretending ME is not a real illness, accept that it is, accept your daughter has it, and then you can move forward and ensure through the correct treatment, diet, and lifestyle choices that this will cause her the minimum impact in her future life."
