Video: 2 friends talk about life with ME/CFS

[Merry]

This week Tom Kindlon shared on Facebook a video of two young women discussing what living with ME/CFS is like. They speak candidly and with good humor. It was uploaded to YouTube in 2008, but this week was the first time I'd seen it.

It was produced by artist Dr. Franky Dolan, who is also ill.

Terrific Queen soundtrack, I should add.

excellent video! makes me think about the term 'invisible' illness. I recognize so many little things in how these girls are sitting, how the one girl's eyes open and close in slow motion, how they both talk like their brain doesn't catch up to what they're trying to say, ... And then having to stop the video after barely 10 minutes cause they just can't go on. not so invisible after all, when you think about it!

I thought the same, @bobby. Just how ill they are was evident to me.
