Emma Louise Blackery, (born 11 November 1991) is a British singer-songwriter and YouTube vlogger from Basildon, Essex, UK with 1.4 million subscribed viewers.[1][2]
On Jul 13, 2015, she released a YouTube video in which she discussed that after six years of symptoms, she was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS).[3] The trigger most likely was glandular fever, also known as mononucleosis.[4]
As a result, other viewers opened up about their diagnoses with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), starting a wave of support, experience sharing, and awareness online.[5][6][7][8] Many young people commented on her social media sites that their symptoms were similar prompting them to seek out medical care.[9]
