Today is International Awareness Day for Chronic Immunological and Neurological Diseases such as ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia.
Whether you are affected by one of these diseases, or know someone who is (Alzheimer's, Autism and Epilepsy also belong in this category, as well as many others), hopefully these conditions will be given more research and funding in the future.
It is held on Florence Nightingale's birthday as it is believed she had MECFS.
