    What showing up looks like for someone with chronic illness - by Christina Baltais.

    - So what does “showing up” for someone with chronic illness actually look like? These are the ways my online ME/CFS community felt the greatest support, when asked to reflect on instances since their ME/CFS chapter began. These stories illustrate just how important it is, especially during our most difficult times, to have the support from the people around us.

    Many heartwarming stories from ME patients about how they've received support. Would love to hear your stories too if you want to share in the thread. :hug:
