What are your thoughts on media personalities and celebrities with ME/CFS?

The topic has come up a few times recently, and I'm curious to know what people think about the matter.

Lets just throw a few names out there Smiling

Barry Sheene
Layne Beachley
Leigh Hatcher
Alastair Lynch
Tottie Goldsmith
Linley Frame

Celebrities and media personalities

I'd heard that Johanna Griggs had had it. Wasn't sure though if it was long term CF or just post viral CF.
I didn't know about most of the others actually.

Famous People with ME-CFS & Me.

I was watching a Story on Blake Edwards, Julie Andrews late husband & she mentioned that he had it for a couple of years.
I just joined this sight and I don't know how to navigate around it. I've had CFS for about a year after getting glandular fever in 05, then Ross River & Bahma Forest Virus late Feb 06. It's been a real struggle my depression went hrough the roof, as did my panic attacks. My soon to be husband is my carer.
