I'm in the process of getting a ME diagnosis, although I've had it for years. It's really important to me that I find material to explain ME to those who are closest to me, primarily my 2 kids in their twenties, who still don't understand the nature and severity of my illness.

I'm putting together a playlist, and I'm looking for videos from the scientific & medical communities featuring doctors or scientists that ideally:

provide education about ME
give a picture of what it's like (eg. orthostatic intolerance - inability to wait in lines, etc)
what the impact is on one's life, advocate for those with ME.
Are not so dry that a viewer would get bored after 2 minutes.

I hope this is not to tall of an order! :D

Thanks
