flag A Welsh man, Tomos Sleep, is bedbound and nonverbal due to severe ME diagnosed in 2023, highlighting inconsistent care and calls for national standards in Wales.

flag Tomos Sleep, 28, from Swansea, is now bedbound and unable to walk or talk after being diagnosed with severe myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) in 2023, a condition that began with dizziness in 2019. flag His parents say he cannot tolerate light, sound, or people, and even caregivers worsen his symptoms. flag While some in Wales with moderate ME can still move but have left work, severe cases face inconsistent care, described as a "postcode lottery." flag Advocates and health professionals urge better training, early intervention, and national standards, as the Welsh government considers forming a specialist expert group and setting unified guidelines.
