Chronisch Krank, Chronisch Ignoriert plot

Although chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) was classified as a neurological disease by the WHO as early as 1969, it remains misunderstood to this day in politics, the medical world, and society. Director Sibylle Dahrendorf has herself suffered from a series of multisystemic illnesses for years. Without treatment and confined to bed, she can only communicate with the outside world and scientists via social media. She is assisted by director Daniela Schmidt-Langels: she sets out, conducts interviews with experts around the world, and attempts to confront those responsible in politics and the healthcare system with the situation.
