I posted a link to this MEAction article in the News from Organizations section but I thought I should crosspost it here. This year's Millions Missing campaign is called "Teach ME, Treat ME." The focus is medical education. #MillionsMissing Week is Here: #TeachMETreatME in Action! https://www.meaction.net/2024/05/07/millionsmissing-week-is-here-teachmetreatme-in-action/ Here's a direct link to the "Show Up From Home" toolkit (Google doc): https://docs.google.com/document/d/...JmmydaJIi4BQDQDew/edit#heading=h.vyt35j7pvgd3 Even folks who can't do any of the advocacy actions listed in this toolkit may want to print this document and give it to their doctor(s). Every little bit helps! I gave a copy to my primary care physician and to my cardiologist. And I know my cardiologist read it because he referenced something in this document in my chart notes! Link to the Mayo Clinic document and associated CME: https://millionsmissing.meaction.net/treatme/ I managed to post a couple of threads today about this, one on Mastodon and one on Bluesky, so I'll share them here in case it inspires folks to do their own posts (on whatever social media platform they may use). Note that you don't need an account to read either of these threads.

There's a short "Teach ME Treat ME" video (1 minute) available on YouTube that you can share on social media. "Years to Diagnosis of ME - video for #MillionsMissing 2024" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6e26P2PsTc Here's the less movement version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnzz2QwwaMs
