A place on kbin.social for those with ME/CFS. I made this during the reddit migration, just in case any of those with ME/CFS need a magazine on kbin. Posts, resources etc welcome. Check out our Microblogs section - a good way to get more fediverse content! If you are looking for basic resources, e.g. me/cfs organizations or fact sheets, there are some over at: - link for kbin = @cfs@kbin.social

National Center for Health Statistics: Data from the National Health Interview Survey

In 2021–2022, 1.3% of adults had myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS).
The percentage of adults who had ME/CFS increased with age through ages 60–69 and then declined among those age 70 and older.
White non-Hispanic (1.5%) adults were more likely to have ME/CFS compared with Asian non-Hispanic (0.7%) and Hispanic (0.8%) adults.
Adults with a family income less than 100% of the federal poverty level (2.0%) were more likely to have ME/CFS, followed by those at 100–199% (1.7%), and those at or above 200% (1.1%).
The percentage of adults who had ME/CFS increased with increasing rurality of their place of residence.
