Severe M.E Day 2025 Mid Antrim

Regional marking of #SevereMEDay 

 

Thank you to Mid Ulster District Council for lighting up 3 landmark Council Buildings in blue to raise awareness for the sickest in our community. 

 

World ME Alliance explain why it is vital to raise awareness for the sickest in our community on 8th August :

 

#SevereMEDay

 

"Around 25% of people with ME/CFS experience severe or very severe symptoms. These individuals may:

- Be unable to speak or tolerate conversation

- Need assistance with all aspects of daily care

- Experience intense pain and energy loss, gastrointestinal issues, and orthostatic intolerance

- Be unable to tolerate standard medical environments or interventions

 

Despite their level of disability, they are frequently overlooked by healthcare systems and society."

 

Please help us to raise awareness of this debilitating condition this Severe ME Day.
