[[File:Jodi Bassett - self portrait.png|300px|right|Source:www.hfme.org|'''Jodi Bassett: Self portrait''']] '''Jodi Bassett''' was living with [[Myalgic Encephalomyelitis]] ([[myalgic encephalomyelitis|ME]]) when she founded [[The Hummingbirds' Foundation for ME]], an online educational and advocacy site. She was an Australian artist, graphic designer, writer and patient advocate. ==Illness== According to her website: "In 1995, at the age of 19, Jodi went from being healthy and happy one day, to very ill and disabled with the neurological disease [[Myalgic Encephalomyelitis]] (M.E.) the next. When first ill, Jodi was reduced to only being able to be 40% as active as pre-illness. Due to inappropriate medical advice leading to sustained overexertion (which causes serious and permanent bodily damage in M.E.) Jodi’s illness quickly went from moderate to extremely severe. By 1999 she was capable of less than even 5% of her pre-illness activity level." She did her advocacy work in bed with a laptop.<ref>{{Cite web | url = http://www.hfme.org/abouthfme.htm | title = About HFME|website=The Hummingbirds' Foundation for M.E.|access-date=2018-08-30}}</ref> Jodi died in June 11, 2016 at home from secondary Breast Cancer.
