The Wedding Gift (1994)
This BBC TV is based on the true story
of Deric and Diana Longden, who were
faced with the debilitating symptoms of
what was at the time undefined Chronic
Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome, with Diana a paralytic who has blackouts. The trap in dramatising this kind of tale is allowing the proceedings to get either too maudlin or too icky sweet uplifting.
Starring: Julie Walters, Jim Broadbent
Director: Richard Loncraine
SONGSMITH: -Look up the word "Irony" then ask your stupid questions again. This is OUR life, from the north of England. I think you need to get an education...then get a life

"When her sister has had a bad night with the chickens?" I don't get that. So, he's getting pills for his mother who gives them away to people who sucker them out of her? He's exhausted and his mother-in-law has dementia.// Is she trying to get someone to kill her?// Histeria? The doctors can't figure out what it is so the arrogent morons put it back on the patient. Blame the husband or her. Asking about their sex life. Wow. I want to take a bat to them. LIke they need more stress.

No it's not silly, the eyes that can be read by the compassionate are the only ones who can see how someone with MECFS feels
