#MEAction Maryland

Our work as advocates for #mecfs involves a lot of myth busting about common misconceptions of complex chronic illness. One of the most dangerous myths we address is that children don’t become chronically ill or suffer from long-term illness. Focusing on what our chapter calls “the forgotten demographic,” this webinar series presents the latest research in pediatric #myalgicencephalomyelitis by Dr. Peter Rowe for the purpose of educating working medical professionals, to help them learn how to recognize, diagnose, treat, and support the growing population of children and young people with ME.

Each pre-recorded webinar will feature a research and clinical presentation by Dr. Rowe on one feature of #pediatric ME, and will follow up with a panel discussion with people and caregivers on the lived experience and life impact of childhood ME.
