Emma Louise Blackery, (born 11 November 1991) is a British singer-songwriter and YouTube vlogger from Basildon, Essex[1] with 1.3 million subscribed viewers.[2]
On Jul 13, 2015, she released a YouTube video in which she discussed that after six years of symptoms, she was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). The trigger most likely was glandular fever, also known as mononucleosis.[3]
As a result, other viewers opened up about their diagnoses with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), starting a wave of support, experience sharing, and awareness online.[4][5] Many young people commented on her social media sites that their symptoms were similar prompting them to seek out medical care.[6]
