So you have got M.E. Or you know someone who has it. You are not alone - even though you may feel it. It is thought that M.E. now affects up to 240,000 people in this country, with cases of the illness well out-numbering those of M.S. (multiple sclerosis).
A catalogue of all the articles on ME written by Margaret Williams and Professor Malcolm Hooper can now be found at:

From Page Three of Looking back with ME -
I appreciated reading Hazel’s witness to the Lord’s grace in saving her, and all His subsequent dealings, which comes over very well and much to His glory. I trust the information given about ME may open the eyes of people to take this condition seriously, especially the medical profession.
Rev. John Thackway, Pastor, Holywell Evangelical Church
It was most moving to read of the way the Lord has led Hazel these past years, and I was richly blessed by her regular reminders that God is sovereign in every detail of our lives.
Derek French, Elder, Hanney Chapel near Wantage
This book documents Hazel’s life both before and since her illness. No, it isn’t cheerful to read about a chronic illness and some of the difficulties both with diagnosis and in terms of management of the condition. Yet Hazel is a Christian and is clear that she has a hope greater than this life. Of course, this book is of relevance to people with ME, but it is also relevant to those of us who have been given many years of good health. It is easy to moan and forget to be thankful for this gift. It is encouraging to be reminded of the Lord and His promises.
Sarah Jones, former consultant physician, London
