Encore episode for Carers Week 2026. Kate Baychek’s moving conversation with CEO, Anne Wilson provides a touching and powerful glimpse into the reality of ME/CFS for loved ones, is so very touching and powerful.
Kate is a carer for her bedbound adult child with ME. She’s also a registered nurse who has worked in the public hospital system over 35 years. In this poignant podcast we hear how she is utterly floored at the demands of caring 24/7 for a bedbound person, particularly her own child. At times, all of this has felt overwhelming and never-ending. Kate didn’t expect the stigma and gaslighting, nor the appalling cost of health care outside of the hospital setting.
