3 people in same family with neuro immune disease

I have quite a few YouTube friends who have this disease. And though I do not have ME (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) myself, ME and Dysautonomia present with lots of the same symptoms and syndromes.

But that's not what's most important about this video. What shocked me the most was knowing that ME hit an entire family. This woman is caring for her THREE children who are suffering, living under the same roof. I love the part where the son talks about not having seen his sibling in FIVE MONTHS, even though their bedrooms are next to each other. They're symptoms are so bad that they never leave their bedrooms, let alone the house!

I am proud of this mother's strength!
