‘Life with a low battery’ is a 6-minute video which is perfect for introducing ME/CFS to family and friends of someone living with the illness.
ME/CFS is a complex, multisystem, energy-limiting illness which is often misunderstood, leaving patients struggling to get the understanding and support they need.

The video is available in several alternate versions for people with sensory difficulties: no music; muted colours, no music; and muted colours, no music, no motion. There’s also a transcript.
