'''Get Well From ME''' is a video blog started by a British [[myalgic encephalomyelitis|ME]] patient man named [[Giles Meehan]]. His objective is to advise on how to manage [[ME/CFS]], encourage those who are recovering, educate about the illness, and support people with severe ME who are not getting better.<ref>http://getwellfromme.com/</ref> He got sick at the end of university with a bad case of glandular fever, caused by cytomegalovirus, and never recovered. He spent his twenties basically housebound. At his worst he couldn't walk 100 meters to the end of the road and back. As one can see in the videos, he has improved significantly.<ref>http://getwellfromme.com/about-me/33-1-introduction</ref> Videos and full text transcripts are available at [http://getwellfromme.com/ Get Well From ME].
