A person with M.E./C.F.S. has particularly high levels of weariness after very little activity. This exhaustion is not alleviated by sleep and persists even after minimal physical, mental, or emotional activity that the person could easily perform prior to the illness. This illness reduces productivity and impacts a person's quality of life significantly.

We'll concentrate on post-activity tiredness, a symptom that every M.E. patient suffers. When someone hears about M.E., we want this crucial element of the condition to be the first thing they think of. The campaign's goals are to raise public awareness of the diseases, inform people of their symptoms, and promote more funding for research.

M.E. is an illness that we can and should learn from, regardless of whether you work in the medical field or are a member of the general population. It serves as a day to educate the public and show support for those suffering from M.E./CFS and other chronic illnesses.

ROAD TO MASTERS IN THE US

jhsph.edu ROAD TO MASTERS PROGRAM IN THE US The first thing is deciding where you want to further your education. For me, I believe the United States stands out for various reasons 1. Their institutions/universities are among the best in the world 2. Unlike institutions in the UK, you do not have to pay tuition upfront. In fact in my case, I had come to the US, started my program and was way into my program before payment was required to register for courses for next term. I only paid acceptance fee back in Nigeria. 3. There are scholarships available in most institutions, but they are quite competitive. Do due diligence and research on the institutions you are applying to. This is a link of available scholarships in some institutions. 4. In lieu of scholarships there are loans available which do not require a co-signer/guarantor like Prodigy finance and Mpower Depending on when you are making this decision , I would start from the beginning, so you can pick up f
