On we wanted to give our ME/CFS community this important message of hope from Dr Eliana Lacerda:

"As any chronic disease, ME/CFS has an impact on the mental well-being of those who have the disease. Despite the moments of despair and isolation that people with ME may experience, our team at the CureME have also been witnessing a great deal of endurance from them.

Thus, we would like to remind you all to keep hope, as the poet Pablo Neruda reminds us."
