If I wait until I can express myself the way I want, this post will never get published. And this is too important to wait.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>A bit ago (part of my illnesses is that time runs together and I have no real concept of it anymore), I wrote about Lady Gaga&#8217;s documentary, and included her tweet that said she hoped the film it would raise awareness for fibromyalgia and other painful, invisible illnesses. As I wrote in my <a title=\"My thoughts on Lady Gaga\u2019s documentary &amp; chronic illness\" href=\"http:\/\/dsavannah.com\/blog\/index.php\/lady-gagas-documentary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">post<\/a>, I don&#8217;t think it did.<\/p>\n<p>But now there&#8217;s a documentary that is an unflinching, real, true, up-close-and-personal look at chronic illness, specifically <strong>myalgic encephalomyelitis<\/strong>, commonly (and erroneously) known as chronic fatigue syndrome (ME\/CFS).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here&#8217;s the trailer for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unrest.film\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Unrest<\/em><\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JvK5s9BNLzA?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>One of my online #spoonie friends, Sarah Stanton (who is also a fan of one of my very favorite authors, <a title=\"Book Launch: In Memory. #GNUTerryPratchett\" href=\"http:\/\/dsavannah.com\/blog\/index.php\/book-launch-in-memory-gnuterrypratchett\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Terry Pratchett<\/a>), was able to go to a screening and meet the filmmaker. She wrote a beautiful <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/photo.php?fbid=10154948967628461&amp;set=a.10151849376008461.1073741827.662748460&amp;type=1&amp;theater\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">review<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Her words moved me, and so I asked if I could quote her, and she said yes. Here is a bit of it:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8230;seeing Unrest felt like a victorious battle. it was a sad film, but it waved its sadness like a battle flag. It said the universe had done all it could but you were still alive. it was one of the realest films I&#8217;ve ever seen.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I really wish I could explain how important this film is to me and to others with ME\/CFS and other chronic illnesses.<\/p>\n<p>But I can&#8217;t. My brain isn&#8217;t working today. And it hasn&#8217;t been. And sitting here trying to type these words hurts more than I can express.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m publishing this blog post now to let my readers know that<span style=\"color: #77287b;\"><strong> the film is now available on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.netflix.com\/title\/80168300\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Netflix<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, in a number of languages.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you have ever, ever cared for me before, or anyone else with a chronic illness or disability, please watch this film and learn the reality for us.
