5 years back, TED Fellow Jen Brea ended up being progressively ill with myalgic encephalomyelitis, commonly referred to as chronic fatigue syndrome, an incapacitating health problem that badly impairs normal activities and on bad days makes even the rustling of bed sheets excruciating. In this poignant talk, Brea describes the obstacles she's experienced in seeking treatment for her condition, whose origin and physical results we don't fully comprehend, as well as her objective to document through film the lives of clients that medicine struggles to treat.
