#MEAction has been hard at work connecting individuals to their elected officials to talk about the ME/CFS Research Roadmap, Medicaid, and telehealth. We’ve been partnering with #NotJustFatigue on setting up congressional meetings in order to ask our elected officials for their support in making funding of the ME/CFS Research Roadmap a reality. #MEAction State Chapter
