This is a submission by Sandra Gruescu from @the_me_artclub on Instagram. The written statements on the eggshells are tweets from people who suffer from severe ME/CFS about the reality of their life. #myalgicencephalomyelitis #chronicfatigueawareness #meawareness #millionsmissing #mecfs

E/CFS comes with so much loss, so many wounds. To be able to turn it into art is a small blessing! #myalgicencephalomyelitis #chronicfatigueawareness #chronicallyill #meawareness #spoonie #millionsmissing #mecfsawareness #mecfs

For people with ME/CFS expressing how we experience our life is so important. Art is one way to do that. #myalgicencephalomyelitis #chronicfatigueawareness #chronicallyill #meawareness #spoonie #millionsmissing #mecfsawareness #mecfs

This work was submitted by Jackie. It's two artworks, done about 2 years apart speaking to her experience of LC/CFS. #myalgicencephalomyelitis #chronicfatigueawareness #chronicallyill #meawareness #spoonie #millionsmissing #mecfsawareness #mecfs

This is David Stoner's submission to the exhibit: "My painting illustrates the infection traveling through my body at the cellular level and it’s aftermath, becoming a shadow of my former self" #myalgicencephalomyelitis #chronicallyill #meawareness #spoonie #mecfsawareness #mecfs

This artwork titled "The Slowness of Dying" is Barbara's image of her current conception of death, born out of her ME/CFS experience. Death is not on/off; death is like the leaf curling away from a branch. #myalgicencephalomyelitis #chronicfatigueawareness #meawareness #mecfsawareness #mecfs #cfsme

The This IS CFS Art exhibit attempts to transmit the experience of ME/CFS to people who do not have the condition. Is it working? #myalgicencephalomyelitis #chronicfatigueawareness #chronicallyill #meawareness #spoonie #millionsmissing #mecfsawareness #mecfs #cfsme

It's OK to make a mistake. But then you must take responsibility to acknowledge wrongdoing and make genuine efforts to repair the relationship. This has not happened. chng.it/jSXznmWbpr
