ME/CFS sometimes strikes multiple members of a family suggesting that there may be a genetic component to the disease.
Such is the case with Candi Pastorek, and her daughters, Amelie Hicks and Mary Gelpi.
On April 22, the documentary “Unrest” was shown as a fundraiser for the Open Medicine Foundation that is dedicated to research for into ME/CFS.
The family, formerly from Grand Junction, returned to their hometown for the fundraiser featuring a showing of the Sundance prize winning documentary “Unrest.” Their story, titled “Tortured Pathway” is featured in the April 8, 2018 Sunday edition of the Grand Junction Sentinel.
