How do we fight an illness with no end, no cure, no treatment, no recognition? How many people must die before the world pays attention? How many sufferers must commit suicide from the hopelessness and misery they\'re dragged through every day before change happens?

Blue is the color of choice for raising awareness about myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), also known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and sometimes used synonymously with fibromyalgia. Whatever name you call it, I have it.
 
May 12 is the International Awareness Day for ME along with a few other illnesses. This May 12th in particular is special because it marks the 30th anniversary since the Incline Village Outbreak, which is where the name Chronic Fatigue Syndrome was first used, as well as the \"yuppie flu.\" Please visit my blog to learn more about ME, take some very easy actions to help our cause and enter to win a print of this image: http://wp.me/p17spB-EX
