Jennifer Brea is inspiring!  After bringing awareness of CFS to the TED Talks stage, Brea worked with producer Alysa Nahmias to educate millions worldwide with Unrest, a full length, 90-minute film about ME/CFS.

Sundance Institute Creative Distribution Fellowship, a new initiative to support filmmaking teams in releasing their work, chose UnrestI as one of two acclaimed works from the 2017 Sundance Film Festival.  The National Fibromyalgia & Chronic Pain Association congratulates Jennifer Brea and the #MEAction team on successful and strategic development to draw attention to this life-altering condition.

Available in 31 languages, the transcript of Brea's TED Talk, "What Happens when you have a disease doctors can't diagnose," is educating and inspiring millions of people worldwide.  A Ph.D. student at Harvard, engaged to the love of her life, she felt invincible.  After a fever of 104.7, her health and life were completely different.  Jennifer shares her journey with ME/CFS, its political obstacles, and advocating for research.  Myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) is commonly referred to as chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), a complex and debilitating chronic disease that is a great imitator of other diseases.

ME/CFS affects approximately 1-2.4 million people in the U.S. and millions more worldwide.  #MEAction organizes advocacy and awareness events through galvanizing the ME/CFS community.   Major research center Solve ME/CFS Initiative offers a webinar series and resources for patients and clinicians.
