From the South Wales Evening Post Saturday, May 04, 2013:
Llanelli Library is doing its bit to draw attention to the needs of those who suffer with ME and their carers.
Library assistant Caru James is leading efforts to educate people about the often ignored illness throughout ME Awareness week.
The library staff will be battling to raise ME awareness in Llanelli through a series of events next week aimed at showing people ME is not just about tiredness, and it has a very serious effect on people’s daily lives.
The charity Action for ME estimates there are currently more than 250,000 people in the UK who are affected by the condition.
Sufferers can feel persistent exhaustion, muscle and joint pain, sleep disturbance, flu-like symptoms. They can also have problems with memory and concentration.
