== Afflicted docuseries ==
On Aug 10, 2018, the docuseries [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8792570/ Afflicted] was released. The producers misrepresented themselves to Jamison and instead of documenting his illness and the illnesses of others framed them as having mental health issues.

Jamison Graham Hill is an author and, prior to becoming stricken with severe myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), a bodybuilder and certified personal trainer. He is featured in the 2015 documentary, Forgotten Plague, by Ryan Prior and Nicole Castillo. In addition to writing a book on fitness, he has written articles for Ultra-FIT, Physique Magazine, ExtraFit Magazine, World Physique Magazine, and Inside Fitness.[1]

Hill first became ill with ME in 2010 following a case of mononucleosis in his senior year of college at Sonoma State.[2] His health gradually declined until he was bedridden and unable to speak or eat solid food. Slowly, his health is now improving.[1] In 2021, Hill published his memoir When Force Meets Fate: A Mission to Solve an Invisible Illness.[3]

Hill's blog, Jamison Writes began as a fitness blog. After a three and a half year hiatus due to illness, Hill continued his blog, writing about his experiences as a patient with ME. He states: "This site is dedicated to Jamison's journey to regain his health and help others realize the seriousness of his disease and the devastation it causes."[1]
