Here's the next series of comics about experiences with 'George and his ME/CFS'. I'm endeavouring to find humour to draw attention to the challenges that patients experience, the absence of appropriate diagnostics and therapy, poor treatment, lack of funding and maybe even a slightly whacky take on the latest research. As mentioned feel free to offer ideas that might fit a 3-window comic for when I get around to another series. Enjoy!
Thanks. I have started sharing them around, e.g.Here's the next series of comics about experiences with 'George and his ME/CFS'.

I don't know about MEAction, but it wouldn't be terribly hard to make a CafePress or Zazzle store to sell products (t-shirts, mugs, pillows, etc) with graphics you've designed. Maybe that would be something worth looking into @WantedAlive ?Did I already mention I would love to see these on #MEaction t-shirts?
Did I already mention I would love to see these on #MEaction t-shirts? It would be a non-confrontational way to spread awareness and maybe even start a conversation, assuming the person with ME is up to it.
I don't have the energy to do the research on how one gets started though.
Well a sunlamp will brighten your dayLove Acronymitis!
thats definately a REAL disease.
When my doctor finally diagnosed me with SEID (after a series of carefully unexecuted dianostic testing), he lept up and exclaimed to the receptionist: She has SAD She has SAD.
I was thinking he meant, the Seasonal Affective Disorder....I think I'll be cured, I'll get a sunlamp.
Hello there,
I've had a few comics done to capture some of my own experiences and observations during my journey with ME/CFS. Unfortunately, as I've become more severe, my ability to find humour has subsided, and I've run out of ideas. Maybe members can contribute some more ideas? If your ideas work as a comic, I might be able to get some more done. No promises though.
Here are some to get us started. Enjoy! Maybe with enough we can put them into a booklet for fundraising, use them with awareness campaigns, postcards for doctors, or even for new members with early onset ME/CFS. At the very least, I hope you get a laugh.
