I count myself lucky that I wasn't disabled w/ #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis till I was 20.
As a kid, I stressed about not being 'the last one on the bridge' at recess, not about Dr's who didn't believe me.
I stressed over spelling tests, not a gov't that blamed me for my illness.
This week is #AntiBullyingWeek & for people w/ #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis a lot of bullying stems from disbelief of family members, friends & doctors.
History continues to repeat itself. But the science is in. It's time for our leaders & our society to catch up.

FUNDING DENIED!
The Only ME Research in Canada is Being Done by an Undergrad Student Paying for it Himself

#MyalgicEncephalomyelitis
Never thought I’d feel shame to be a Canadian. For 580,000 Canadians with myalgic encephalomyelitis, this is a slap in the face by Health Canada. Hopes now rest on the shoulders of a lone undergrad student. @GPTaylorMRD @CDNMinHealth@JustinTrudeau@CanadianPM@MillionMissCan
