I was wondering about the "interest/health topics" for the nominations.

"CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome)" is listed as an option, but it's possible to add new ones too, for example "Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME)".

Which ones are you all using?

@Tom Kindlon, what specific topic would you prefer to be nominated in?

I wrote a bit more on Facebook which doesn't have Twitter's tight word limit:

I just endorsed Alem Matthees for Health Activist Hero and Lifetime Achievement in #HAAwards.

Endorsements only opened today. The 3 people with the highest number of endorsements in each category get into final. Alem is in two categories so best to endorse him in both categories.

Alem won the right to see the data in the £5 million #PACEtrial of graded exercise therapy and cognitive behaviour therapy after a mammoth battle. It was a very difficult case to win given how vigorously QMUL and the PACE Trial investigators were fighting the requests, but Alem managed it. https://awards.wegohealth.com/nominees/12435

Alem is certainly a hero for me.
