πŸ’™ Blue For You - ME 2022 πŸ’™

Smile on Saturday theme Blue for You - ME 2022

 

In support of ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia International Awareness Day - 12 May.

 

[M.E. Awareness Week was established by patient advocates and is focused on May 12th, the birthday of Florence Nightingale, who was believed to have suffered with M.E. From 1857 Nightingale found herself often disabled by poor health, which some suggest may well have been Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). As a result, Nightingale has now been adopted as a kind of patron saint for this under-studied disease.]

 

I too was a victim of that illness in my mid twenties, it stole away about 10 years of my life. I'm happy to say that I'm a lot better now but my heart goes out to all those people who are suffering from an invisible and difficult to diagnose illness and in frustration that a lot of the medical profession still refuse to recognise it’s existence.

 

Happy Smile on Saturday πŸ’™πŸ’™πŸ’™
