Let's remember May 12th is International ME/CFS & FM Awareness Day on Facebook.
http://www.facebook.com/pages/May-12th-International-MECFS-FM-Awareness-Day/220534562160
I only found out about it because of a young woman who came in to the general chat, named Holly, I think, who had the logo as her avatar.
I'm so glad becasue of her I know about the date, May 12, 2011.
I've been so sick and far behind socially (you know, just so crashed and fogged after doing the nust-do's of day-to-day life w/ chronic illness) and with social media too, I haven't even done facebook yet.
Now I'm going to join, so I can become "Visible" at least on that special day, instead of staying so "invisible," as I have for the 22 years I have sufferred with this illness.
I visualize having some good links on my page, and perhaps some good personal info about my life w/ ME/ CFIDS, and then getting close to the day, sending the "May 12 International ME/CFIDS Awareness Day" page to everyone I know. It has been a long time since most have seen me, and many never bothered to get to know me.
And none have ever seen me in social media. And a blitz of info on the international scope of the problem, and the newfound awareness, of this illness is sure to make an impact, expecially if everyone who is affected by this illness sends it to everyone they know.
Does anyone else have any other ideas? Perhaps like at a set international time, an international moment of slience, or Non -Silence, we all send the link to everyone?
First, I have to figure out how to get on facebook, and find people's ocntact info, so if anyone wants to help me do that?..
