Mission: Our current goals are locally to raise awareness of ME/CFS, to help educate healthcare workers and researchers, to increase access and support for ME/CFS patients, and internationally to add our voices to ME/CFS advocacy actions. Please visit Support ME/CFS San Diego to support our ME/CFS awareness, education, and advocacy efforts.
This is a grass roots organization started by a family of 5, of which 4 members suffer from ME/CFS. They are determined to raise awareness and advocate and have done wonderful work here in San Diego.
I've never seen people work so hard even when they are triggering from ME/CFS symptons. I spent 2 years volunteering my services by sewing scrubcaps and masks and delivering them to clinics and offices. I was unemployed but it was an amazing experience. I would have never heard of this group had it not been for the pandemic. One of the few positive times that happened during a horrible time in San Diego. The volunteers who live with ME/CFS work with little or no energy so it makes me appreciate being able to be a bit more mobile each morning. I am still affiliated with this ground and will continue to support them in the future. See you at the conference in 2024.
ME/CFS San Diego works hard to raise awareness among healthcare workers on this poorly understood medical condition, and to help support the ME/CSF community generally. As I have a family member with undiagnosed chronic illness, I understand how alienating it can be and how poorly understood many such conditions are. ME/CSF San Diego is taking on a critical role in bringing support to this debilitating disease.
