SUMMARY:Severe ME/CFS: Care\, Rights\, and Research Webinar Series -- Legal Rights (Pt. 2 of 4)
DESCRIPTION:ME/CFS has a broad spectrum of severity\, with some able to work while others require total care and support. People living with Severe ME are often confined to their beds and require assistance with basic daily activities such as eating or bathing. Their symptoms can be exacerbated by light\, sound\, and movement\, and some may require round-the-clock care. These severe symptoms can limit access to medical care and support\, leading to isolation from family and friends. About 25% of people with ME/CFS are severely ill and bedbound as a result of their illness. For many\, there is a pattern of relapse and remission. \nThis four-part webinar series presented by Solve M.E. and the Bateman Horne Center will feature medical professionals\, legal experts\, scientists\, and care partners discussing tips for caregiving\, legal perspectives on individual rights\, strategies for addressing treatment challenges for medical providers\, and the latest research breakthroughs impacting people with Severe ME. \nWhile this series is focused on Severe ME\, the information shared will be relevant to other severe chronic illnesses\, as well as people with moderate to mild ME/CFS\, Long Covid\, and other infection-associated chronic conditions and illnesses (IACCIs). \nEach webinar takes place from 10-11 am PT (11 am – 12 pm MT). \nThe second webinar in our series focuses on the multifaceted legal considerations faced by people with Severe ME and those who care for them. \nA panel of legal experts will share information on the topics of guardianship\, conservatorship\, power of attorney\, Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)\, Supplemental Security Income (SSI)\, and more. \nThe panelists will offer practical strategies for determining which legal protections are right for you\, successful application for different forms of disability benefits\, and what to do if disability claims are denied. \nJoin Solve M.E. President and CEO Emily Taylor as she moderates a panel of attorneys with valuable insights to share with our community. \nTopics and dates are:\n• October 9: Caregiving\n• November 13: Legal rights\n• December 4: Medical care\n• January 15: Research \nRegister for one or more of the events in the series here:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_YjCfUvHiQnmuAG6yV3jORw \nThe content provided by Solve M.E. and the Bateman Horne Center in this webinar is for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal or medical advice.
