I happened to be online and Miriam Tucker just tweeted a link to her Washington Post article about ME/CFS. It talks about ME/CFS researcher Dr. Ron Davis and his son, Whitney Dafoe, who is severely ill.

I have not read the whole thing, just skimmed it, but in the past she has written supportive articles.

If you're on twitter and want to favorite the tweet, or re-tweet it, here's the link:

It's an excellent article and I hope it will be widely tweeted!

For those who want to create their own tweet, here's a short link to the photo used with the Wash Post article that you can include in your tweet:

Tweets with photos usually get more attention. And I agree with Kati about adding @NIHDirector (and #NIH, too!) to the tweet, if possible.
