Myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) is a debilitating, chronic disease that steals so much from the person. We received heart felt stories from around the globe chronicling journeys with ME. This week we touched on parenting, aging, marginalization, and careers. Today we want to share more of your stories. While not all of these stories fit into one specific thematic box, they do all have threads in common. This illness affects
millions of people. It is not rare. You are not alone. The more we speak up together, and highlight our experiences, the less we can be ignored.
From May 5th to May 12th, the ME community around the world is fighting for justice for people with ME. Learn more at
millionmissing.org. While are events are one week long, we fight all year long. We need treatment options, compassionate care, education, and ultimately, a cure. We will not give up on you.
A reminder from all of us at #MEAction: We hope that you will join in the conversation on social media. While you participate, we want to remind everyone that your very existence is enough.
