Dear Friend,
It has been a busy March and we are gearing up for an even busier April with the Washington DC Advocacy Day on April 3rd and the NIH Conference on April 4th and 5th. In this issue, we have an advocacy alert about a Veteran's Administration proposal, an invitation to join a research study at MGH, an arts and culture benefit with EBT cards, and a way for you to help us get free advertising in the Boston Globe.

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.
