This goes out to everyone at the Whittemore Peterson Institute for getting the ball rolling. It also goes out to Alter et al for discovering another important piece to the puzzle, and for dealing with a lot of political crap they likely never expected. And to all of us, for surviving the wait.

NOW YOU SEE US
Lyrics by Susan Wenger
Music by Susan Wenger & Ron Amistadi
Day they came
Did their worst
Felt like I might die of thirst
Not a drop of water to be found
Seasons pass
Years go by
Never knew the reason why
They always kick you hardest when you're down
Chase the money trail
And you begin to realize
There's shady people cleaning out the store
CHORUS
Someone's got to keep the faith
Someone's got to hold the line
I can build a mighty fortress
With the power of my mind
I'll do anything it takes
Gonna take back what is mine
And there's no stopping us this time
Alone we are divisible
Silent and invisible
Without the strength to get a message through
Find each other one by one
Get together
Get it done
Keep each other going 'til we do
They can call us crazy
See how much time that buys
But we will not believe them anymore
CHORUS
Someone's got to keep the faith
Someone's got to hold the line
I can build a bridge between us
With the power of my mind
I'll do anything it takes
Gonna take back what is mine, mine, mine
And there's no stopping us this time
Results of their analysis
Hysterical paralysis
The more things change the more they stay the same
But closer now
To the truth
And they cannot deny the proof
By trying to call it by a different name
CHORUS
Someone's got to keep the faith
Someone's got to hold the line
I can build a better future
With the power of my mind
I'll do anything it takes
Gonna take back what is mine, mine, mine
And you and me will be just fine

I sent a link to your website to Marly at PANDORA earlier this month. I was going back over the e-mails I sent and saw where I did this. I was telling her what a good song "I Remember Me" is. I wanted to let you know also. We are so blessed to have talented people who can tell the world the real nature of our illness, not just with facts, but with emotion also.
correction, I meant "Everybody Knows about Me."
Sorry, ME/CFS moment.
Thanks, Tina. Let's just hope we can get the world to listen. :)
