This short video (about a minute) from asks people with ME/CFS, "How long did it take you go get diagnosed?"

(ME/CFS = myalgic encephalomyelitis / chronic fatigue syndrome)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnzz2QwwaMs

I'm "lucky" because it only took me 5 years to get a diagnosis vs. an average of over 8 years (from the 417 responses they got).

What's your answer? 🤔

You don't have to be an ME/CFS or Long Covid patient to help us improve medical education.

Join #MEAction's "Teach ME, Treat ME" campaign. Contact your doctor to tell them about the Mayo Clinic CME:

@ahimsa_pdx @mecfs 42 years. A naturopath dxed me 21 years in, but that was only taken seriously by a regular doctor 21 years later.
