What happens when you have a disease doctors cant diagnose, Jennifer Brea

Five years ago, TED Fellow Jen Brea became progressively ill with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, commonly known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, a debilitating illness that severely impairs normal activities and on bad days makes even the rustling of bed sheets unbearable. In this poignant talk, Brea describes the obstacles she s encountered in seeking treatment for her condition, whose root causes and physical effects we don t fully understand, as well as her mission to document through film the lives of patients that medicine struggles to treat.
