International Me/cfs Awareness Day
International ME/CFS Awareness Day, which takes place every year, raises the alarm of a condition called myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome. It's also a day to highlight other chronic immunological and neurological disorders (CIND).
ME/CFS, a debilitating and complicated disorder, is debilitating. Overwhelming exhaustion is one of ME/CFS' most common signs. This exhaustion can keep those with the disease from doing their regular everyday activities. It can also discourage people from doing simple tasks, such as taking a shower. People are bedridden for lengthy stretches of time as a result of severe cases. Many with ME/CFS are unable to function properly, so they should not just rest to feel better. After any form of physical or mental activity, the exhaustion is usually worse. ME/CFS has an effect on every area of life, including education and work. Their social lives are also affected by this.
Other signs of ME/CFS include: Chronic exhaustion, chronic exhaustion, and other signs of ME/CFS.

Several of these signs are similar to those of autoimmune diseases. However, researchers don't exactly know what causes ME/CFS.
ME/CFS affects 17 million people around the world. This number includes up to 2.5 million Americans. A large number of people who have it do not have a medical diagnosis. Many people go undiagnosed due to the disorder's complexity. ME/CFS affects more women than men. This disease usually occurs between the ages of 20 to 40 years old. ME/CFS patients are expected to improve over time. However, some people will never recover fully recovered. To properly diagnose and treat this complex disease, a lot of work and study must be done.
