Commemorating the 34th Anniversary of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Awareness Day in the State of New York

Senate Resolution S.1383 commemorates the 34th Anniversary of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) Awareness Day in New York State, observed annually on May 12. The resolution recognizes ME/CFS as a chronic illness affecting multiple body systems - causing extreme fatigue, post-exertional malaise, and other debilitating symptoms - and highlights that approximately 62,000-152,000 New Yorkers live with the condition. It aims to raise public awareness and support for individuals, families, and researchers affected by ME/CFS, without creating new laws or funding.
