The project is currently a work in progress and will consist of a website with about a dozen new short videos, accompanied by links to existing educational materials and references. The videos will address different aspects of the disease, including – diagnosis, various management and treatment issues, Severe ME and the support doctors can provide, key symptoms described by patients in their own words including short and long term experiences and differing severities, patient advocates’ concerns, and the broader historical, social, medical and cultural context for the disease.
