#MillionsMissing was coined by a community member to represent the millions of people missing from their lives due to ME ? missing from their careers, missing from time spent with family and friends, missing simple pleasures like sitting in the sun or taking a walk. We are missing because our governments have chosen to neglect us. We are missing millions of research dollars; we are missing educated clinicians; we are missing care and compassion; we are missing an urgent response from our governments.
The pandemic has been devastating for our community, quadrupling the number of people with ME from an estimated 1.5 million pre-pandemic to an estimated 9 million people today. The majority of people develop ME following an infectious trigger, such as a virus, so this outcome is no surprise, and the ME community was sounding the alarm at the start of the pandemic.
