I was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and dysautonomia in high school, and ever since the guidance of Dr. Rowe at Johns Hopkins has made a huge difference in my life. This illness is estimated to affect millions Americans, but it is rarely diagnosed due to low awareness and stigma. Scientific research in this area is also severely underfunded. Increasing these resources is especially important now as "long COVID" creates thousands of new cases of CFS. Please consider joining me in supporting medical research in this area and in raising awareness of CFS!
