About #NOTJUSTFATIGUE

The mission of the 501(c)3 #NotJustFatigue is to speak the truth about ME/CFS through creative content that’s deeply personal and unapologetically emotional. Via film, photography, storytelling, and interactive experiences, we aim to connect with people in a way that medical and political rhetoric cannot. We want to confront a long history of neglect, bring those with the disease out of the shadows, and forge a path forward. Together, we can reclaim the narrative around ME/CFS.
