The State Senate of New York passed a resolution recognizing May 15, 2007 as Chronic Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome Day in the state of New York. This resolution, J-1811, was sponsored by Senator Craig Johnson and passed on May 1, 2007. Senator Johnson took this measure at the request of Sherrill Robinson, a constituent from his district who has CFS. May 15 is the CFIDS Association of America’s 15th Annual Lobby Day, and is recognized as such in the resolution.
