During Awareness Week from May 11 to 17, sufferers around the world are using their precious energy to focus on one common goal: awareness-raising.
We are women, men and children, young and old, at differing levels of severity, with multiple systems of our bodies affected.
We are among the invisibly disabled, with the severely ill bed-bound and isolated from society.
Information is available from the Wollongong ME/CFS/FM Support Group at www.mecfsfmwollongong.org and the national body, Emerge Australia, at www.emerge.org.au.
