JENNIE: MECFS Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
JENNIE Season 2, Episode 12
TELEVISION PARK– We’re taking a look at a mysterious and debilitating illness that strikes suddenly and robs people of the joy of life.
Jennifer Bray is about to marry the love of her life when she’s struck down by a fever that leaves her bedridden. When doctors tell her it’s all in her head, she turns her camera on herself as she looks for answers and fights for a cure. She discovers a hidden world of millions confined to their homes and bedrooms by Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, commonly known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
So, what is ME? It’s a systemic Neuroimmune condition. An estimated 15 to 30 million people have this, many don’t even know they have it. Researches believe ME is triggered by a virus. It’s gone by many names since the 1930’s, Atypical Polio, Icelandic Disease, Royal Free Hospital Disease, ME, and most recently, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, a name that has inflicted its own sort of perceptual harm.
