Listen to the ANZMES Executive Committee as they call on policymakers and health professionals to take vital action for those in our community living with Severe-Very Severe ME/CFS.

Transcript:
Fiona: “Today, we speak for the 25%—the thousands of New Zealanders with Severe ME who are missing from their own lives.”
Ange: “Severe ME is not fatigue. It’s a catastrophic illness that can leave people unable to eat, speak, or tolerate light and sound.”
Amy: “Many are trapped in darkened rooms, requiring 24/7 care. Their suffering is invisible—but it is real.”
Anna: “To our healthcare professionals: your care can make or break lives. Learn about Post-Exertional Malaise. Stop harmful advice. Believe your patients.”
Steve: “To our MPs: inaction is no longer an option. Fund dedicated care and research. Mandate ME education. Update disability policy.”
Ange: “To the public: you can help. Share this message. Start a conversation. Amplify the voices of the #MillionsMissing.”
Wendy: “Every name in our InMEmory tribute is a life lost to systemic neglect. Every person still fighting deserves better.”
Anna: “This Severe ME Day, we demand more than awareness. We demand urgent, systemic change. Join us.”
