May The 12th Be With You

May 12th is the International Day of Awareness for ME/CFS (myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome), a gravely misunderstood neurological disease. Up to 598,000 Australians live with ME/CFS, yet there is very little research funding or specialist healthcare available for them. How is such a devastating disease so overlooked? Kaitlyn Plyley investigates in this special episode of Just A Spoonful, 'May The 12th Be With You'. For anyone who ever asked, "Where's the Serial about why I'm still sick?"
