Sunday Conversation for June:
"ZOOM through 40 years of ME/CFS with MassME!"
Sunday, June 18, 2023, 4 p.m. Eastern Time
Join us to see how MassME has stayed alive and relevant for 40 years. We’ll fly through four decades of change around this misunderstood and stigmatized disease. Learn about our unique patient-led organization that has influenced progress and helps patients more than ever.
This lively program will combine important history and good-to-know facts with a bit of fun and an interview with one of MassME’s treasures.
A recording will be available after the event.

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.
