Mary Schweitzer

Mary M. Schweitzer, PhD, is an American ME/CFS patient and advocate. She has been sick since 1994. She stated in a written testimony to CFSAC: "I first collapsed with 'chronic fatigue syndrome' on October 24, 1994 (although I probably already had it when an outbreak of Epstein-Barr swept Villanova, where I was a professor, in the fall of 1990)".

She has been receiving Ampligen since 1999. After a period where she stopped Ampligen, she had a severe relapse, making her committed to never voluntarily going off Ampligen again. Currently she is in the Ampligen trial with Dr. Daniel Peterson in Incline Village. Mary blogs at Slightly Alive.
