Recommendations for good educational videos?

[gabriella17]

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!

Thanks

I have this one to hand as I am about to send the link off to a friend. It's audio only.

It's Professor Warren Tate of New Zealand talking on the Science Show of Australia's ABC. It covers a good lot of ground in 9 minutes.

I find this YouTube channel to be excellent.

There are quite a few videos here, but more than a few are basic and introductory. You may want to pre-screen them before recommending to friends and family:
