About ME Awareness Pictures

The concept of creating eyecatching and educational Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) awareness pictures for use on social media was conceived in 2012. Many people are involved in creating the pictures on this blog (some ill with ME, others not).

We believe in the spirit of sharing and connecting people to available resources so that together, we can raise more awareness about this dreadful and miserable illness. Feel free to use the pictures from this blog anywhere on the internet to raise awareness and please link back to our Facebook page or this blog so that more people become aware of this ME awareness raising resource.

We thank everyone who unconditionally provides their artwork, photos and other materials, their time, advice, skills and precious energy. We also thank all the generous people who translate the text in these pictures.

You can find us on various social media under MEAwarenessPics. (Google without spaces or with quotation marks.)
