Miranda Hart spoke about her long illness on Celebrity Traitors this week. Fans want plain facts about it.
ME stands for myalgic encephalomyelitis. Many people know it as chronic fatigue syndrome.
ME causes deep tiredness. A full night of sleep may not help. Small tasks can feel huge.
People with ME may feel pain in muscles and joints. Some find it hard to think clearly.
Lyme disease is an infection from the bite of an infected tick. A tick is a tiny bug.
Hart says her symptoms started when she was about 14 or 15. Doctors could not find the cause for years.
She moved from doctor to doctor. No one could give her clear answers. In her mid-40s, she collapsed.
At her worst, Hart stayed in bed for long spells. She later learned Lyme disease had led to ME.
In this week's episode, she took part in an outdoor mission. She grew emotional as she looked back.
Hart says she still lives with parts of ME. She still deals with tiredness and pain.
Reports do not say she left the show. Her tears were about her health journey, not a goodbye.
