I reread Encounters last year and loved it even more than I did in 2005. The book remains highly relevant to ME today. The personal experience of having ME is unchanged—the physical unraveling, the loneliness of how other people treat you, the effort it takes to get through a single day. Sadly, the social commentary is also not out of date. We know more about ME than 20 years ago, but we still do not have adequate research funding, a biomarker, or a treatment. If you haven’t read Encounters before, I hope you will now.

Home IACFS/ME is dedicated to the research of people affected by myalgic encephalomyelitis / chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), fibromyalgia, and other related conditions.

More info about CFS/ME can be found here: www.iacfsme.org. As many know, I’ve cared for her when needed—often daily during those times—for many decades, even as a child. It’s been hard at times. But I’m grateful for the time with her. @mecfsnews.bsky.social
