For the past 8 years, May 12 has been the International Awareness Day for Chronic Immunological and Neurological Diseases. These diseases include chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia. May 12 was selected as the day to bring attention to these conditions since it is Florence Nightingale's birthday. Most people know her as the founder of modern nursing but few know that she spent most of the last half of her life confined to her home suffering from a disease similar to what we now call chronic fatigue syndrome. 1, record 1, English, - International%20Awareness%20Day%20for%20Chronic%20Immunological%20and%20Neurological%20Diseases

Le 12 mai est reconnu comme la Journée internationale de sensibilisation aux maladies immunologiques et neurologiques chroniques. Ces maladies comprennent le syndrome de fatigue chronique et la fibromyalgie. Le Journée du 12 mai est choisie pour attirer l'attention sur ces conditions parce que c'est la journée de l'anniversaire de Florence Nightingale. La plupart des gens la connaissent comme étant la fondatrice des sciences infirmières modernes, mais peu savent qu'elle a passé la plus grande partie de la deuxième moitié de sa vie confinée à la maison, souffrant d'une maladie semblable à ce que nous appelons maintenant le syndrome de fatigue chronique. 1, record 1, French, - Journ%C3%A9e%20internationale%20de%20sensibilisation%20aux%20maladies%20immunologiques%20et%20neurologiques%20chroniques
