If you're new to myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), commonly referred to as chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), we're here to tell you that you are not alone. There are millions of others like you. At #MEAction, our mission is to advocate for people with ME to raise awareness, educate, and fight for better access, better treatments, and ultimately a cure. Whether you’re new to this disease or you’ve been living with it for decades, there’s something here for you. We're your hosts, Steven Molony and Jaime Seltzer. Steven is an actor, writer, and filmmaker who makes all of #MEAction's videos and provides lots of voiceover as well. He is an ally to people with ME, Long COVID, and other chronic illnesses. Jaime is #MEAction's director of scientific and medical outreach, and she does research at Stanford University on ME and other complex chronic diseases. She is a person living with ME, and ME runs in her family with both her mother and sister affected. We'll be interviewing some of the most influential voices in ME/CFS and Long COVID, discussing books and articles on complex chronic disease, having candid chats about life with ME, #MillionsMissing and what it means to #StopRestPace, disability activism and advocacy, art and music from disabled artists you love, and so much more. If you’re looking for an outlet on the road of chronic illness, you’ve come to the right place.
