As Severe ME Day comes to a close, we light a candle to remember those we have lost. We send our love to all who are grieving. We hold each other in our hearts as we each have a list of names that goes through our minds as we light our candle. #SevereMEday #UnitedforME

What if your body couldn’t bear light, sound, movement — or even touch? Today, #SevereMEDay, we ask you to imagine living that way not just for a day… but for years. For people living with Very Severe ME, this isn’t a metaphor — it’s reality. 🧵
