During the November session, Linda engaged a panel in discussion on living a life of quality, while living with ME/CFS and fibromyalgia. Linda Milne, with 20 years of ME/CFS and fibromyalgia has a lifetime of experience in this area.
Bateman Horne Center is a non-profit clinic and research center, advancing the science, treatment, and education of ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, and related conditions.

Linda was raised in the foothills of Salt Lake City, UT. Although she happily spent most of her adult life in Chicago and Los Angeles, she returned to Utah in 2001 to assist her parents, who are now deceased. While ME/CFS forced her early (and unwanted) retirement over 20 years ago, and has prevented her from returning to the workforce, that has not kept her from discovering ways to contribute to her community and enjoying life as a senior.
Additionally, she served on the OFFER Board of Directors for nearly 10 years and played an important role in patient education. OFFER was the volunteer-operated nonprofit that joined with Dr. Bateman's private clinic in 2015 to form the Bateman Horne Center.

Shout out to Linda, haven't seen her for years!
Thank you for posting this. Good to hear how others cope.
I can’t count the times I looked up smiling thinking,....yesss- this speaker really gets it! This is so helpful- thank you!
We need more of this!
This is the first time - in 44 yrs - I have heard other patients with ME discussing what it is like to live like this. Thankyou - it means a lot : )
The panel has it all SO figured out, I have just subscribed so there may be other videos that might be at a point I find myself at and struggling with at this time in my life.
It is very uplifting to hear this panel speak, BUT somehow I find myself feeling totally pathetic at this very moment. God bless all.
Is there a transcript of this discussion? I have friends who really need to see/hear/understand this, but I'm bad at forwarding CZcams videos. This has really inspired me to ask myself these questions...looks like therapy will come back into my life, but maybe now I can focus on what I really need to look at. My husband, who was quite ill, died very suddenly, 8 months ago, after a fall he was gone in 2 minutes. But I now need to look to myself. THANK YOU FOR THIS CONTENT. I have FM, CFS, bipolar, diabetes t2, and a host of other stuff.
You are so lucky
All I have to say is Whitney Dafoe. I'm getting worse. Quality of life? What life?
