16 May 2018 | US senators are co-sponsoring the first ever resolution on ME/CFS - ask your senator to co-sign now!

And here's that resolution:



Looks like a bigger version will appear here but basically the resolution is to support the goals of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome International Awareness Day.

Can any US people explain the significance of this politically?

From the best that I can ascertain, this resolution offers symbolic support for our cause. Which isn't to say that it's unimportant.

Often one needs to move through symbolic support to "show me the money."

So it's a step in the right direction.

The impatient part of my nature thinks "this is what we get after 34 years?", while the more optimistic (and more dominant) part of my nature is excited that things finally seem like they are beginning to move and that we (and I) need to engage to build on that opening.

Lets keep in mind Congress currently has a majority consisting of reality deniers who want to take all healthcare away from everybody so don't expect this to pass. That said we could get (very) lucky or more importantly get our plight known so in the future when the tables have turned it will have more swayed votes.
