(Nov 26, 2015) "In this thought provoking first person feature Huddersfield 22-year-old Nathalie Wright reveals how her life has been devastated by the crippling illness [[myalgic encephalomyelitis|ME]]. Nathalie grew up in Pole Moor above Slaithwaite, went to Wilberlee Primary School, Crossley Heath School in Halifax and then Greenhead College. Day and night became indistinguishable" '''The harsh reality of living with ME'''<ref>{{citation |last = Wright | first = Nathalie | date = 31 October 2015 | title = The harsh reality of living with ME|url= http://www.telegraph.co.uk/wellbeing/health-advice/me-and-me/|newspaper= The Telegraph|location= London|access-date= }}</ref> ''The Telegraph'' By: [[Nathalie Wright]]. (Oct 31, 2015) "Every ME sufferer has a date etched into their memory: the day they realise they have fallen ill with a potentially life-long disease that leaves its sufferers paralysed by extreme exhaustion, bed-bound and in constant pain. On November 1, 2013, I became one of them." '<nowiki/>'''No one chooses to have ME - everything changed when I became ill''''<ref>{{Cite news | last = Kindlon | first = Tom | date = October 30, 2015 | title = No one chooses to have ME - everything changed when I became ill|url= http://www.independent.ie/life/health-wellbeing/health-features/no-one-chooses-to-have-me-everything-changed-when-i-became-ill-34153140.html|newspaper= Irish Independent|access-date= }}</ref> ''Irish Independent: Life Health Features Section'' By: [[Tom Kindlon]].

(Aug 8, 2014) "Ordinarily, illness is measured in days or weeks; and for the unfortunate months or even years. Then there are those of us for whom illness, pain and suffering is measured in decades. This is my twenty-fifth year of being ill: a quarter of a century spent mostly in housebound, bed-bound isolation." '''Viewpoint: Telling the hidden story of chronic fatigue syndrome'''<ref>{{citation |last = Prior | first = Ryan | date = 10 June 2013 | title = Viewpoint: Telling the hidden story of chronic fatigue syndrome|url= http://college.usatoday.com/2013/06/10/opinion-telling-the-hidden-story-of-chronic-fatigue-syndrome/|newspaper= USA Today|location= McLean, VA|access-date= }}</ref> ''USA Today: College'' By: [[Ryan Prior]]. (Jun 10, 2013) "Seven months ago I wrote a story for USA TODAY College that changed the direction of my life. I wrote of my six-year struggle with a little-known illness called [[chronic fatigue syndrome|Chronic Fatigue Syndrome]] (also called [[myalgic encephalomyelitis|Myalgic Encephalomyelitis]])." '''Viewpoint: The real story of chronic fatigue syndrome'''<ref>{{citation |last = Prior | first = Ryan | date = 2 October 2012 | title = Viewpoint: The real story of chronic fatigue syndrome|url= http://college.usatoday.com/2012/10/02/opinion-the-real-story-of-chronic-fatigue-syndrome/|newspaper= USA Today|location= McLean, VA|access-date= }}</ref> ''USA Today: College'' By: [[Ryan Prior]]. (Oct 2, 2012) "Understanding diseases from a different perspective can shed new light on the cause and cure. Researchers published a study two weeks ago discrediting the link between the retrovirus [[XMRV]] and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), a little-known illness that the [[FDA]] says is as devastating as cancer, heart disease and epilepsy." '''Viewpoint: Moving forward on chronic fatigue syndrome'''<ref>{{citation |last = Prior | first = Ryan | date = October 30, 2012 | title = Viewpoint: Moving forward on chronic fatigue syndrome|url= http://college.usatoday.com/2012/10/30/opinion-moving-forward-on-chronic-fatigue-syndrome/|newspaper= USA Today|location= McLean, VA|access-date= }}</ref> ''USA Today: College'' By: [[Ryan Prior]].

(Dec 31, 2015) "My favourite place isn’t particularly awe-inspiring, or even beautiful, but to me it is a reminder never to take your health for granted. It is a small field behind my house on the outskirts of Nuneaton, not much bigger than half a football pitch. But after months of being stuck in the house – which felt more like a prison – this field was the first place I visited, and where I felt my health was turning for the better." '''A disease that causes debilitating exhaustion affects more than a million Americans, and no one's addressing it'''<ref>{{citation |last = Solomon | first = Rivka | date = 27 May 2016 | title = A disease that causes debilitating exhaustion affects more than a million Americans, and no one's addressing it|url= http://www.businessinsider.com/chronic-fatigue-syndrome-or-myalgic-encephalomyelitis-2016-5|newspaper= Business Insider|location= New York|access-date= }}</ref> ''Business Insider: STAT'' By: [[Rivka Solomon]].

'''My final year at Oxford, when I felt punished for having ME'''<ref>{{citation |last = Wright | first = Nathalie | date = 18 October 2016 | title = My final year at Oxford, when I felt punished for having ME|url= https://www.theguardian.com/education/2016/oct/18/oxford-university-punished-me-students-expelled-ill|newspaper= The Guardian|location= London|access-date= }}</ref> ''The Guardian'' By: [[Nathalie Wright]]. (Oct 18, 2016) "This life shuddered to a halt when I suddenly became ill in the first term of my final year. I had glandular fever which, unbeknown to me then, had triggered ME – a chronic, extremely debilitating disease. As there was no way I could continue with my coursework, with the support of my GP I applied for a week’s extension. It was denied by the university." '''What it's like to have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, an illness that makes you feel exhausted all the time'''<ref>{{citation |last = Millington | first = Alison | date = 15 November 2016 | title = What it's like to have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, an illness that makes you feel exhausted all the time|url= http://www.businessinsider.com/chronic-fatigue-syndrome-symptoms-what-its-like-2016-11|newspaper= Business Insider|location= New York|access-date= }}</ref> ''Business Insider'' Science By: Alison Millington. (Nov 15, 2016) "After months of struggling both mentally and physically to do simple tasks, dealing with a constantly foggy brain and serious exhaustion that wouldn’t go away no matter how much I slept, a doctor told me I had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)." '''Severe ME left me in a world of pain and darkness. 26 years on, why is it still so poorly understood?'''<ref>{{citation |last = Whittingham | first = Naomi | date = December 19, 2016 | title = Severe ME left me in a world of pain and darkness. 26 years on, why is it still so poorly understood?|url= https://www.opendemocracy.net/naomi-whittingham/severe-me-left-me-in-world-of-pain-and-darkness-26-years-on-why-is-it-still-poorly-understood|newspaper= openDemocracy|location= UK|access-date= }}</ref> '''openDemocracy''' By: Naomi Whittingham. (Dec 19, 2016) "I live in a world largely hidden from view. Most of my neighbours do not even know that I exist. I was last seen as a child walking home from school 26 years ago. In the decades since, I have rarely left my house; when I do, it is in a wheelchair." '''A psychosomatic diagnosis is a doctor’s way of saying, “I don’t have a clue”'''<ref>{{citation |last = Hill | first = Jamison | date = 13 Jan 2017 | title = A psychosomatic diagnosis is a doctor’s way of saying, “I don’t have a clue”|url= https://qz.com/884658/are-chronic-fatigue-syndrome-ibs-and-crohns-disease-really-all-in-the-mind-a-psychosomatic-disease-diagnosis-is-a-doctors-way-of-saying-i-dont-have-a-clue/|newspaper= Quartz|location= Washington, DC|access-date= }}</ref> ''Quartz'' By: Jamison Hill. (Jan 13, 2017) "For the last six years, I have fought to legitimize an illness widely—and erroneously—believed to be “all in your head.” I have myalgic encephalomyelitis, a debilitating multi-system disease that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention conservatively estimates afflicts more than one million Americans. It is commonly known as chronic fatigue syndrome, a truly trivializing name that belittles what I and other sufferers live with. (Though it is preferable to the condescending term “yuppie flu.”) Doctors have told many people with the disease—including myself—that there is no treatment, and more often, that what we are experiencing is merely a manifestation of the mind."
