One-Line Explainer Card
One sentence that says what ME/CFS is and what helps, so the story doesn't need repeating.
A keep-close version. Read it here, or screenshot this page to have it on your phone — print and PDF copies will appear once final files are attached.
Understanding in one line — for the people who matter, given once. The aim is understanding, not belief: understanding changes behaviour, and it's reachable with far less expenditure.

What it is
- “I have ME/CFS — exertion of any kind can make me worse for days, sometimes starting a day later.”
- “My condition means the energy budget is tiny and repays badly — plans stay flexible because they have to.”
- “It's a neurological illness; the reliable part is that doing more today can cost me tomorrow.”
What helps (pick one)
- “What helps most is keeping plans flexible and not needing to explain each change.”
- “Texts beat calls, and a slow reply is capacity, not coldness.”
- “Company that asks nothing is the best kind of support.”
- “Concrete help — a task, not a favour in general — is the useful kind of care.”
Where it lives
Its home

One honest sentence beats the courtroom. People who understand will act as if it's true — which is functionally all you need.
