Emily Collingridge Dies
Matthew Smith posted a very sad message on the Same Difference Facebook page a few hours ago:
Just learned that Emily Collingridge, who wrote the book Severe ME/CFS: A Guide to Living, died last Sunday at age 30. She had been suffering very severely from ME for many years, and had a major relapse in late 2009 after publishing her book. She had volunteered for AYME (the Association for Young People with ME) and the family support charity Home Start before an earlier major relapse in 2005. No other details about her death, including the immediate cause of her death or which hospital she was in, have been released. Her book can be ordered through the website.
Severe ME – Severe ME-CFS: A Guide to Living
A book providing help to patients with severe ME as well as the loved ones and professionals caring for them.
Matthew also published a full post in tribute to Emily at his own blog.
