"Bristol protest in support of suffers of the "invisible" chronic fatigue disease"
Dozens of protesters are expected to march in Bristol in support of people who suffer from a debilitating, but much ignored, disease.
Often referred to as "yuppie flu" or dismissed as "laziness", Myalgic Encephalopathy (ME) – sometimes called Chronic Fatigue Symptom - is still perceived by many as a "made up" illness put on by people who are tired.
But now supporters in Bristol are planning to take part in a worldwide protest march onCollege Greento show solidarity with sufferers in the hope of prompting greater investment in to research funding for the illness.
....
Organiser of the Bristol march, Katharine Cheston, said: "This is a global day of protest, with events already planned across America and Europe, and its theme is "Millions Missing," to recognise people with ME missing from their careers, schools and lives, and also crucial research funding and medical education is missing from this illness."
