At last, I bid farewell to forty's strife,
A year of challenges and tests in life.
Though difficult, it taught me to be strong,
And now, with hope, I'll greet the year headlong.
Oh, forty, you presented trials profound,
But through the darkness, strength and growth I found.
As forty-one approaches, I can see,
The opportunities that wait for me.
With lessons learned and scars that tell a tale,
I'll step into the light, no more to fail.
For forty-one, a chance to heal and mend,
A new beginning, hopeful on the bend.
The shadows of the past, I'll leave behind,
And embrace the future with an open mind.
Though battles may arise along the way,
I'll face them with the spirit to portray.
Goodbye to tears and worries that amassed,
Hello to dreams and joys that now hold fast.
With optimism, I'll set forth and soar,
And seize the blessings that life has in store.
No longer dwelling in the trials past,
I'll find the strength to make this year a blast.
In every stumble, I'll seek opportunity,
To grow, to love, to find my unity.
With gratitude for all that I've survived,
And newfound hope for what will be derived,
I'll welcome forty-one with open arms,
And revel in its promise and its charms.
For life's a journey, and each year's a chance,
To learn, to love, to dance in life's expanse.
So here's to forty-one, with courage true,
A fresh beginning, and a heart renewed.

Today, we come together to raise awareness about Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, a condition that affects millions of people around the world.
As someone who lives with ME/CFS, I know firsthand the impact this illness can have on our lives. Living with ME/CFS means constantly battling fatigue, pain, brain fog, and many other symptoms that can make even the simplest tasks feel impossible. It can be isolating, exhausting, and all-consuming, and yet, it is often misunderstood and stigmatized.
As one of the few in recovery, I have committed to raising awareness about this often misunderstood condition. I hope that by sharing my story, I can help break down the stigma surrounding ME/CFS and support others who may be going through a similar experience.
So let us raise awareness about ME/CFS. Whether you're posting on social media, sharing information with friends and family, or simply taking a moment to reflect on your own experiences, your contribution matters.
To anyone else out there who may be struggling with ME/CFS, I want you to know that you are not alone. Together, we can continue to advocate for better understanding, treatment, and support for this condition. We can make a difference and help create a brighter future for everyone affected by ME/CFS.

Aside from ME/CFS causing PEM there are a few additional things that you should know:
1. Before covid hit, ME/CFS impacted 30 million patients globally. Being that many people with long covid meet the diagnostic criteria for ME/CFS, it’s safe to assume these numbers have sky rocketed over the past few years.
2. In case you’re having a hard time conceptualizing just how many people that is, ME/CFS is twice as common as Multiple Sclerosis aka MS. So that’s a lot of people. And it deserves some attention.
3. But due to lack of awareness and bad press, an estimated 90% of people living with ME/CFS are walking (or laying around) undiagnosed wondering what happened.
4. Approximately 25% are housebound or bedridden.
5. 75% are unable to work.
6. And despite what the internet might have you believe, less than 6% completely recover. So if you’ve tried everything and you’re still not miraculously healed, it’s not your fault. That said, there was a study conducted that suggested approx 40% of patients improve to some extent over time so it’s important to not lose hope, even if things are hard right now.
