Forgotten Plague plot

"Documentary, History, News"

Ryan Prior's life came crashing down on October 22, 2006 when he was struck by a condition that countless doctors didn't know what it was, let alone have a cure for it. He was shocked that millions of people worldwide are sidelined by this condition and often even have to stay in bed for decades. Forgotten Plague (the forgotten plague) is a voyage of discovery into the hidden world of myalgic encephalomyelitis (chronic fatigue syndrome). It's a heart-pounding tale of the medical miss in tackling many chronic and complex conditions. But it's also a compelling story of how science is changing medicine and improving people's lives.
