(Sep 27, 2016) "On Tuesday, in 25 cities around the world, myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) patients and allies will raise the voices they feel they’ve been denied for decades. Under the name Millions Missing, the ME community is protesting the neglect it says it’s felt from the government and the medical field—a neglect spokespeople say has left millions of people undiagnosed, untreated, and unnoticed."

(Sep 23, 2016) "Myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) — It’s the difficult to spell, hard to pronounce illness that afflicts our son, Brian Vastag, and millions of sufferers in the U.S. and around the world. On Sept. 27, the second Millions Missing protest is scheduled for Washington, D.C., and worldwide. I have mailed a pair of shoes to D.C. representing Brian — missing from the job he loves, missing from socializing with his friends, missing health care professionals who understand his disease. They’ll be displayed with thousands of other pairs as advocates work for adequate research dollars to help solve this scourge."

There is no prevention, no treatment and no cure for this barely acknowledged disease that gets barely any government funding."
