    Shehla Ali from About ME looks at the racism and discrimination that pervades healthcare for South Asian women living with ME.

    What is Bibi/Begum Syndrome?

    Medical terminology used to gaslight South Asian women, predominantly those who are elderly ad may have a language barrier.

    I’ll have to see how they age but I’m getting really good vibes from the chronic collaboration.

    It will be interesting.

    A regional association was hijacked by a group of people who, as well as ME and Fibro, had a lot of other injustices to fight.

    It shredded the group.
