The Unofficial 2015 ME/CFS patient awards (#my2015MEawards)
It's been an incredible year for mecfs. Francis Collins, the Director of the NIH, has pledged to get serious about mecfs. Investigative journalist David Tuller's detailed expose of flaws in the PACE Trial helped take it to a wider academic audience for the first time. Professor James Coyne took up the challenge and made waves in no time. The New York Times ran it's first editorial on mecfs. Many patients wrote moving accounts of their illness in the national media. The Open Medicine got two Nobel prize winners on board its new End ME/CFS project and has already launched and funded an amibitous study. #MEAction launched, and made things happen.
And that's just a fraction of it! Who would you like to give an award to?
One award per post, please, but make as many as you want.
Think of this thread as our Awards night, with a suitably celebratory mood.
If someone gets and award you don't think should have one, just go ahead and nominate someone you do think deserves an award. Thanks.

Note that these awards are not a Phoenix Rising initiative, it's just a simple idea to say a big thank you to those who've done so much to advance our cause this year.
