Morven-May MacCallum MSP: No-one in Scotland should have to fight harder to be believed than to get well

When she was 14, new Scottish Liberal Democrat MSP for the Highlands and Islands Morven May-MacCallum contracted Lyme Disease after being bitten by a tick.

Yesterday made her first speech in the Scottish Parliament in which she spoke of her experience and committed to campaign on behalf of people living with ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, endometriosis, POTS, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and other chronic illnesses.

It’s an incredible speech which will resonate with anyone who suffers from these and other conditions and who has had to fight to be believed.
