INTERNATIONAL AWARENESS DAY FOR MYALGIC ENCEPHALOMYELITIS
HON ALISON XAMON (North Metropolitan) [9.46 pm]: I rise because members may wish to know that 12 May was the international awareness day for myalgic encephalomyelitis, also known as chronic fatigue syndrome and often referred to as ME/CFS. It was part of the #millionsmissing campaign. The #millionsmissing campaign is named in recognition of the many sufferers who are not visible within our community because of the debilitating nature of their illness and its symptoms.
