ABOUT
We are a group of people mainly residing in the Southwest, but we have members all over the world. We welcome anyone to join us as we learn to thrive with ME/CFS. Caregivers and allies are welcome too. Each month, we host two online peer support meetings and one meeting to collaborate on advocacy projects.
OUR WINS
Past projects have included:
​
-
A letter with resources sent to every school nurse in Arizona with information on how to recognize undiagnosed Long Covid and M.E. in students.
-
Provided the AZ Nurses Association with links to national M.E. informational pages for their newsletter.
-
Made a travel guide for people traveling with disabilities to know their rights at the airport.
-
Worked with Arizona County Health departments to update their websites and make Long Covid & M.E. resources readily available to their communities.
-
Every year, members participate in Senate and Congressional advocacy.
-
Handwrote postcards to doctors in AZ to take CME (Continuing Medical Education) courses related to M.E.
-
Held an event in Boulder, CO for ME/CFS Awareness Day 2026, in a campaign to protect Medicaid access for people with ME.
See our patient resource: Know Your Rights and Privileges for Airport Travel with ME, which includes an advocacy card to bring with you to the airport.
