Unrest Director Documents Debilitating Life With Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Thursday 27 April 2017
From CBC Radio-Canada's program The Current:
 More than 17 million people suffer from Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME), also known as chronic fatigue syndrome, around the world. Around 80 per cent of those who contract the disease find it is triggered by an acute infection. (unrest.film/Shellafilms) |
Unrest director documents debilitating life with chronic fatigue syndrome
Jennifer Brea was in the prime of her life — working on her PhD at a prestigious university, newly married and living an active lifestyle when it all changed. After contracting an infection, she never quite recovered.
"It was a really scary and isolating experience to have my body fall apart and to not have anyone be able to explain to me what was happening to or what I can expect ... I went to doctor after doctor and was often told I was stressed or depressed and it took me quite some time to get a diagnosis," she tells The Current's guest host Laura Lynch recalling that time.
