M.E. Blue

---

Canadian artist, developed Myalgic Encephalomyelitis in 2008, after a dire threat of Sepsis and Necrotizing Fasciitis, caused by a very severe infection of ''Streptococcus Pyogenes". Necrotizing Fasciitis sometimes called “flesh-eating bacteria".
I have Moderate to Severe M.E. leaving me disabled & 75% housebound. I holds a B.A. Fine Art, Art History & Anthropology from University of Western Ontario. I worked in the Caribbean, Central & South America until I became ill in Barbados in 2008. I considers my love of art as my best friend.

In 2016, she wrote to the Canadian Federal Minister of Health after the Canadian Institute of Health Research denied a grant for ME based on a psychological approach to the illness and that their denial cited erroneous and outdated research. In her letter she urged the ministry to adopt the WHO ICC 2011 definition and diagnostic code for ME.

I have been published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal with respect to treatment of ME. I urge the Medical Profession to remove GET & CBT since the Scientific Research Trial Study of PACE was found to lack good science . PACE has been debunked and the Cochrane Review presents a lack of science as a medical reference.

Published in Stonebird, UK on the cost of ME.
