The holiday season is a time for hope, but we understand it can also bring added challenges for those living with ME/CFS and Long COVID. At Open Medicine Foundation, we want you to know that you are not alone. This season, we are inspired by the courage and resilience of the patient community—and fueled by the hope that unites us all.
Hope for better diagnostics.
Hope for effective treatments.
Hope for a cure.
In the spirit of the season, we’d like to offer resources from the OMF supported Medical Education Resource Center (MERC) at Bateman Horne Center that may help navigate the holidays:
Chronic Illness: What I Want You to Know: A guide to help communicate your needs and boundaries with loved ones, fostering understanding and connection.
Crash Survival Guide: Practical advice for managing ME/CFS crashes and strategies for prevention, created for patients, caregivers, and medical providers.
As the year comes to a close, we are deeply grateful for your ongoing support. Our work continues, driven by the shared goal of understanding and conquering ME/CFS and Long COVID.
This holiday season, remember to pace yourself and hold on to hope.
Warmest wishes for a healthier New Year ahead.
