PEM steals what you don’t see
Living with ME/CFS and PEM is difficult to put into words. Through art, our community expresses the reality of this experience. Created for ME/CFS awareness, this collection offers a window into that world.
Every moment today may be borrowed from tomorrow.
The world sees rest.
We see missed moments.
