“As part of this it would be fantastic to feature the voices of people who live with the condition – this would entail people sending in short videos (no more than 20 seconds) of individuals speaking about the condition and their life to camera.

“This could be how having M.E. has changed their life, the medical treatment and support available to them or the level of awareness they believe M.E. currently has. The videos will be cut together and used as part of the item.




I don't know what to say... there's a million things to say and there's only 20 seconds.

I think I can say the f word for 20 seconds ... j/k

I have trouble explaining to doctors for 20 minutes what the word fatigue entails. They assume I just want an afternoon nap after a heavy lunch.
