Why focus on Neuro-Immune Diseases; CFS, Fibro, Lyme, Dysautonomias?
The symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, POTS and Lyme disease are staggeringly similar. All of these illnesses are vastly misunderstood and underfunded for research and treatment. The majority of people who suffer from them are forced to alter their lives dramatically and end up hurting physically, socially and financially. Most insurance companies do not fully cover treatment either, which makes this even more devastating in people’s lives. Awareness must be raised and the confusing facts must be discussed in order to start helping the people who have Invisible Diseases. This is where we can start! There are other diseases that are referred to as invisible, but due to the similar major controversies and misunderstandings of CFS/ME, Fibro and Lyme, we are focusing mainly on these three. Often, these diseases are a form of Dysautonomia.
