Kieran was an active, sporty teenager with no health issues.
After contracting glandular fever during a rugby tour at the age of 13, his health rapidly deteriorated and he developed severe Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), a debilitating neurological condition that can affect every aspect of daily life.
It is estimated that at least 400,000 people in the UK have it.
Jackie’s Chloe Norman has been talking with Kieran Barnaville about his life with ME and Dr Charles Shepherd from the ME Association.
