Young Adults with ME/CFS - Support
Joey Tuan is a 27-yr young man with ME/CFS for the last 5 years. He recently created an online group that aims to provide a medical and social support for 40-and-under young adult patients with neuro immune disease (ME, fibromyalgia, chronic lyme, atypical MS, MCS, and mold illness.)  If you are a young-adult patient that is looking for other young-adult patients, please check out their facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Young-Adult-Patients-with-ME-CFS-Chronic-Lyme-Fibromyalgia-etc/183809648306533?v=app_4949752878  From there, you can easily click on "click here to join our group" to join our group or you can just click "like" to get major updates. Joey on why he started this group: During the 5 years I've been sick, I've always wanted to meet other patients around my age. Despite living in large metro areas such as San Francisco, Los Angeles, Columbus, and Las Vegas, I never succeeded in finding one in any forum, whether online or local support groups, but instead always stumbled upon one by chance. Young adult patients already deal with an inhuman amount of suffering and isolation due to neuro immune diseases, so it really is hard to fathom that there is no dedicated online group for us to find other patients near our age. This lack of support for young adults, often fresh out of the most socially-embedded times of their lives, is what I'm trying to change with this group. Here are some reviews on our group from: Dorothy Leland at CALDA http://www.lymedisease.org/news/touchedbylyme/642.html Mindy Kitei at CFS Central http://www.cfscentral.com/2011/01/healkick.html
