Severe ME Day Interview with Wendy Matthews

Join us today on Severe ME Day, August 8th, for our interview with Wendy Matthews, a pivotal voice in the ME community, particularly for severe ME. Wendy brings a unique and deeply informed perspective as an ANZMES Executive Committee member, Chair/Trustee of ME Respite, and through her 30 years of lived experience with severe ME, having been largely bed-bound for 20 of those years. This interview will be an exploration of the crisis facing the severe ME community, focusing on three key areas: The Lived Experience: Wendy will share the unfiltered reality of living with severe ME—the daily battles, the profound loss, and the immense resilience required to navigate a life largely hidden from the world. A Message to Health Professionals: The interview will articulate what healthcare professionals MUST know to provide safe, evidence-based care and, crucially, to prevent the harm that so many in our community have endured. A Call to Policymakers: Wendy will outline the clear, non-negotiable actions that policymakers must take to address systemic neglect and build a system of support that provides for the most vulnerable - including her vital goal of establishing dedicated, ME-trained respite centres. This interview is the centerpiece of our campaign activities for the day, which include the sharing of our 'InMEmory' and 'InSolidarity' initiative/video tributes to honour those we have lost and those who continue to live in the deepest isolation of this illness. We hope this ‘event’ will create a powerful narrative, underpinning our collective call for urgent action.

A call to action message from the ANZMES Executive Committee this #SevereMEDay

Listen to the ANZMES Executive Committee as they call on policymakers and health professionals to take vital action for those in our community living with Severe-Very Severe ME/CFS. #RememberingtheUnseen #SevereMEDay #MillionsMissing #CalltoAction #MedicalEducation Transcript: Fiona: “Today, we speak for the 25%—the thousands of New Zealanders with Severe ME who are missing from their own lives.” Ange: “Severe ME is not fatigue. It’s a catastrophic illness that can leave people unable to eat, speak, or tolerate light and sound.” Amy: “Many are trapped in darkened rooms, requiring 24/7 care. Their suffering is invisible—but it is real.” Anna: “To our healthcare professionals: your care can make or break lives. Learn about Post-Exertional Malaise. Stop harmful advice. Believe your patients.” Steve: “To our MPs: inaction is no longer an option. Fund dedicated care and research. Mandate ME education. Update disability policy.” Ange: “To the public: you can help. Share this message. Start a conversation. Amplify the voices of the #MillionsMissing.” Wendy: “Every name in our InMEmory tribute is a life lost to systemic neglect. Every person still fighting deserves better.” Anna: “This Severe ME Day, we demand more than awareness. We demand urgent, systemic change. Join us.”
