Review for Open Medicine Foundation, Agoura Hills, CA, USA
I suffer from ME/CFS. I have lost my career, hobbies and I can no longer look after my children or spend a day with them. I am partially bedridden, housebound and use a wheelchair. I cannot participate in life, severe M.E is existing in a seperate world. It is such a debilitating illness and it's impact is poorly understood. It is a disease that is totally underfunded in terms of research. The Open Medicine Foundation want to find diagnostic markers, treatments and ultimately a cure for this disease. They give hope to patients like me all over the world. I so want to live a little again, I want to live to see my children grow up. I do not want to spend the rest of my life confined to my house and bed. I am only 42 years old. It is heartbreaking not being able to go anywhere with my children, I can't cook for them. I am sick for two years now, my youngest child is 4. He will never remember me as healthy and well. Please support the Open Medicine Foundation. So many are suffering, please help us find answers to this dreadful disease. M.E can be fatal and life threatening. Many commit suicide as they see no hope for their future. The Open Medicine Foundation give all patients hope now, hope that was not there before.
