About this event

Myalgic encephalomyelitis, also called chronic fatigue syndrome or ME/CFS, is a long-term condition with a wide range of symptoms. The most common symptom is extreme tiredness.

ME/CFS can affect anyone, including children. It's more common in women, and tends to develop between your mid-20s and mid-40s.

ME affects an estimated 250,000 people in the UK, and around 17 million people worldwide.

World ME Day aims to raise awareness about the condition and help people get the support and help they need.
