The Massachusetts CFIDS/ME and FM Association warmly welcomed Rik Carlson, president of the Vermont CFIDS Association, and Michael Thurston, videographer, for the Massachusetts premiere of INVISIBLE. This event, as part of the Association's 2010 series of educational forums, was held at Morse Institute Library in Natick, on October 30, 2010. The film was received with strong support and interest as well as great appreciation for the efforts by its filmmakers.

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.
