Sunday Conversations - August 21, 2022

- Last Updated: 08 August 2022 08 August 2022
Join MassME for a Special Edition of Sunday Conversations! We are looking forward to meeting you "in person"!
We will gather together in small groups for conversations about topics of interest to our community. When you register, you can select one or two topics that you would like to explore with others. After a short welcome and introduction, we'll go to breakout rooms, hosted by MassME volunteers, for 20 minutes. After a brief break, we'll return to the breakout rooms for another 20 minutes. You can choose to stay in the same group or choose a different topic for the second session. We'll return to the full group for a brief "de-brief" before signing off.
Summer is a time for informal gatherings and socializing. Let's get to know one another, and have a chance to ask questions and share experiences!
This is a virtual event via Zoom. This program will not be recorded.

Notice about names
The Massachusetts ME/CFS & FM Association would like to clarify the use of the various acronyms for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), Chronic Fatigue & Immune Dysfunction Syndrome (CFIDS) and Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) on this site. When we generate our own articles on the illness, we will refer to it as ME/CFS, the term now generally used in the United States. When we are reporting on someone else’s report, we will use the term they use. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and other federal agencies, including the CDC, are currently using ME/CFS.
Massachusetts ME/CFS & FM Association changed its name in July, 2018, to reflect this consensus.
