Every year in May, celebrations are held all over the world by patients with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia and Multiple Chemical Sensitivity and their supporters.
The celebration is also a day of advocacy and awareness. The 2014 Calgary May 4th program will again use technology to allow the best speakers to present exciting information about treatment advances by two-way weblink.
The audience will be able to hear and interact with the speakers in real time.
Note that this presentation will be recorded so that if you are unable to attend or if you wish to view it again, you will receive a link to the recording and and will be able to watch it in entirety as many times as you like.
