The CDC has a page for May 12 Awareness Day!

ME/CFS International Awareness Day

https://www.cdc.gov/me-cfs/resources/awarenessday.html

Excerpt:
CDC said:
Prioritizing Patient Care

May 12 is Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) International Awareness Day. On this important day, we recognize and support the millions of people who suffer from ME/CFS and other chronic immunological and neurologic diseases by raising awareness and providing education. ME/CFS is a serious, long-term illness that affects many body systems. People with ME/CFS suffer from severe fatigue, post-exertional malaise or PEM (worsening of symptoms after physical or emotional exertion that would have been tolerated before illness), sleep problems, pain, and other symptoms.
