ME/CFS San Diego is now a 501c3 public charity!
ME/CFS San Diego actually means a few different groups now and it is a bit confusing.
ME/CFS San Diego Facebook group members are patients and/or caregivers, connected to San Diego, sharing information, support for each other, and advocating for education and awareness of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS). If you have ME/CFS (or are a caretaker of someone with ME/CFS) AND live in, work in, or get medical care in San Diego county and are interested in joining ME/CFS San Diego's facebook group - please apply to join https://www.facebook.com/groups/794379067434680/
ME/CFS San Diego also is a community of supporters: donors and volunteers - we have had hundreds of people help in our awareness projects from individuals, companies, after school groups, scouts, and other Facebook groups. If you want more information on the work our supporters are doing, want to help if you have a spare spoon (please note: we encourage all volunteers to take care of their health and lives first - we move slowly and don't want anyone to get sick from supporting), or to cheer on supporters - please feel welcome to join https://www.facebook.com/groups/mecfssdsupporters.
ME/CFS San Diego includes a website, Facebook page, Twitter, and Instagram working to help promote ME/CFS information and awareness.
ME/CFS San Diego is also a CA non-profit, public charity now with approved 501c3 status. Our current goals are locally to raise awareness of ME/CFS, to help educate healthcare workers and researchers, to increase access and support for ME/CFS patients, and internationally to add our voices to ME/CFS advocacy actions. Please visit Support ME/CFS San Diego to support our ME/CFS awareness, education, and advocacy efforts.
