So often, people don’t realise they’re on the path to ME/CFS until it’s too late. By the time people get diagnosed they usually have at least a 50% reduction in activity levels, which means by the time someone gains the knowledge to manage their illness, they’ve already lost so much of their life.

The words ‘Your body whispers before it screams… Reducing activity at the first sign of unexplained, persistent fatigue could help slow or prevent illness progression.’ Are in light pink.

Alt text: Screen shot of a tweet from @tiz_xingjian on 5/31/2024. Screen shot from a video of a young Asian American woman wearing a red and black shirt, playing guitar. The text of the tweet reads: wrote a lil theme song for #JohnVsJonVsME! Absurdly proud of myself for rhyming “research is precious” with “Dr. Ron Davis.” @lastweektonight & @thedailyshow who’s going to get in on the #GreatestMEdicalScandal?
