May 12th is International Awareness Day for Chronic Immunological and Neurological Diseases (also called CINT). The conditions which make up the CIND family often include Myalgic Encephalomyelitis or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Gulf War Syndrome, and Multiple Chemical Sensitivities.
To make this day we have produced a new awareness raising picture. It would be great if you could like and share with your friends and family so more people know of the day.
If you are involved in any of events to commemorate the day please tell us about the in the comments box below.
Many thanks in advance.
Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Awareness
Hi All
As a fibromyalgia sufferer in South Africa I am pleased to find out that there is a day recognising the illness.
However sadly in South Africa despite almost 60% of temporary disability claims being fibromyalgia related there is still no school of physiatry in this country.
Meaning that patients have a horrible ordeal of bouncing between different specialists that only partially treat the ailment and proper diagnosiss is often rare or late.
Despite being an actuary I have had very little influence in generating action with regards to this.
Regards
Fellow sufferer
