==Advocacy == Strazza has featured in a number of interviews, raising awareness of ME/CFS and the lack of medical knowledge in particular. His songs from when he his ME/CFS was less severe, and his recent poetry raise awareness of what it is like for him. Strazza is critical of the lack of funding for medical research into ME/CFS, and of the extremely low [[disability]] payments made in the [[United States]] to those have been ill since [[Pediatric myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome|childhood]], adolescence or as a young adult.<ref name="QA2022" /> {{Quote|text=The second thing I want people to know is how little the government and medical industry cares for people with ME and [[chronic illness]] in general. It took me eight years and thousands of dollars to get a diagnosis. The dozens of doctors I saw in that time gave me advice that has ruined my life; I blame their ignorance for my severity that is potentially permanent. Most doctors don't know anything about ME, and the few who do [[Biopsychosocial model|think it's a psychological illness]]. It is unbelievably difficult to find help.<ref name="QA2022"/> | author = James Strazza}}
