Hello @melindagates, I’m reaching out to draw your attention to myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS), a severe neuroimmune disease that remains dramatically underfunded and affects women disproportionately. In its severe forms, patients can remain bedridden for years, unable to work or leave their homes, and sometimes unable even to wash themselves or tolerate light, noise, or a simple conversation. Some become completely dependent on their families while remaining fully aware and intellectually intact. Despite millions of people being affected worldwide, and the growing urgency created by Long COVID, there is still no curative treatment. Your commitment to women and to the most vulnerable could have an enormous impact here. Financial support for ME/CFS research could accelerate the discovery of biomarkers and, above all, treatments for patients who have sometimes been waiting for decades. Thank you simply for taking the time to look at this disease and at those who are still living almost invisibly in the eyes of the world.
