Yesterday, Aug. 8, was Severe ME/CFS Awareness day. This message from a young woman in Norway was posted on the Open Medicine Foundation site, and it echoes so beautifully the thoughts of my severely ill 38 yo son. His message to other patients is, "Don't give up."

Not all resistance wears a bullhorn.
Some write letters.
Some carry water.
Some raise their voices.
Some raise the spirits.
Some paint banners, others hold them.
Every role matters.
