To add: I would love to hear how the project (a work in progress) is coming over to you as someone who may/not know much about ME/CFS. What does the project show you that you didn't know? Which images connect with you most? What would you like to see more of, in the project?

My niece has CFS. On seeing this post I understand a little more about what she and you are going through. Thank you.

Ah, very sorry to hear this Andrew. I hope she's receiving good care and support, be that through public or private provision, community support, books, online etc. Glad you found the images insightful (I added a sixth, having thought about it at 5am!). I've lots more to make and add. There are a few people who've made photo work about ME/CFS, mentioned here; https://open.substack.com/pub/andrewgiffordphotography/p/photographers-who-inspired-my-approach?. I'm keen to discover others too!

She is receiving good care and her parents have been marvels. She moved to London a couple of weeks ago to live independently for the first time since pre-Covid. Let’s hope her recovery continues.
