A couple of action items
I just signed both petitions and posted this on my Facebook page:

"More descriptively termed Systemic Exertion Intolerance Disease SEID it steals and destroys lives. I just took the bus to Walmart and back, not even an hour, and I'm lying down to type this because my energy is GONE. I *hope* I will feel better tomorrow, but there's no guarantee.
"Please sign the Petition: Need NIH Funding to Cure M.E. for Millions

Please sign these petitions and share them widely. Thank you."

I dunno; maybe it'll help. Maybe you'll want to do the same. Feel free to plagiarize.

I saw and signed both of these petitions as well. At least I think I did. I\'m so crashy I very well could have signed a petition to save dolphins (which I actually would have done that too).
Dolphins? You bet!
What the hey, no harm in double-signing; their server sorts out the duplicates. Go sign! :-D
