May
ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia International Awareness Day, on May 12, is a special day to help people learn about two health conditions: ME/CFS, which makes people very, very tired and sore all over, and Fibromyalgia, which causes a lot of pain in different parts of the body. These are invisible illnesses, meaning you can't see them, but they make life really hard for those who have them. This day is about showing kindness and support to people who have these conditions and helping others understand what they're going through, so we can all make the world a better place for everyone.
How to celebrate ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia International Awareness Day?
You can wear a special color, like blue, to show support. Make homemade cards or posters with kind words to show you care about those with ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia. Share these cards with friends and family to spread awareness. You could also light a candle or use fairy lights as a symbol of hope. Spend some time learning more about these conditions through stories or videos. Talk to friends about what you learned. If you like drawing, create artwork or crafts related to the theme and share photos online with a special hashtag. Being supportive and kind makes a big difference!
