This blows my mind - it's very well-deserved!! Congratulations @JaimeS!!! :balloons::rocket::star:

It seems that ME/CFS may be starting to become mainstream . . . with the Mayo Clinic offering a section on ME/CFS as continuing education for doctors, and @JaimeS contributed to that too! https://www.mayoclinicproceedings.org/article/S0025-6196(23)00402-0/fulltext

Maybe the NIH will start to take us seriously now? :rolleyes: Maybe? One can hope . . .


ETA: just discovered that Avindra Nath is one of the honorees as well! This is for the recent NIH ME/CFS study involving 17 patients: https://time.com/6968936/avindra-nath/ (a family member pointed this out to me) I think it's significant - well, I hope it's significant - that 2 out of the 100 are named because of work done relating to ME/CFS.

So awesome about Jaime and this recognition!

Speaking of Nath, and not sure if this warrants a different thread, but thought I'd ask and mods feel free to move where applicable.

On Monday, May 6th is the CDC ME/CFS Stakeholder Engagement and Communication (SEC) Conference Call

We know one of the segments is: “Deep Phenotyping of Post-Infection Syndromes and the Way Forward” with Brian T. Walitt, M.D., M.P.H. and Avindra Nath, M.D. | Question and Answer (Q&A)

I know or sense they may just cherry-pick certain questions they prefer to take, but assuming they’ll answer these live Q&A’s on Monday, do any here have recommendations for highest priority questions to send in? (I know we could take up a whole week sending in all of our deep concerns, but just taking inventory from any here what is best for them to try to answer or the best path forward)
