I think like some of our community I suffer from ME/CFS. ME/CFS is a severe, currently incurable disease — often worse than late-stage cancer — and it causes nearly $1 trillion in annual economic damage in the US.
People are often housebound or bedbound because their bodies seem not to give them enough energy. Physical exercise worsens the disease by a lot. CFS affects the whole body - from brain fog to pain to sore muscles to severe loss of strength and air hunger even when doing nothing despite talking.
ME/CFS affects 1 in 200 people, yet research is virtually non-existent. Patients often live with a quality of life worse than late-stage cancer, while NIH funding is just $4 per patient compared to $2500 for HIV. This GitHub Page is an open letter to the visionaries of Silicon Valley to finally step up and fix this biological failure. We chose GitHub because this is where the tech elite realizes their projects and builds the future. Giving it a star would force the algorithm to notice our crisis: https://github.com/debugmeplease/debug-ME
