The 21st Century Cures Act has just passed the House and moving to the Senate. This is a chance to add funding for ME similar to what has been added for tick-borne diseases.

I just wanted to write a quick post to see if there is anyone lobbying for ME patients in Congress. I am 99.9% certain the answer is no, but I wanted to confirm. @Nielk- is ME Advocacy doing any lobbying on this Act? Anyone else aware of any initiatives?

Thanks all.
