Action for M.E. is the leading UK charity for people with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E.) and their carers.
M.E. is a chronic, fluctuating illness affecting 250,000 people in the UK. It may be diagnosed as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) or Post Viral Fatigue Syndrome (PVFS). M.E. symptoms may include persistent exhaustion, muscle and/or joint pain, sleep disturbance, feeling flu-like and having problems with memory and concentration.
Action for M.E. will provide information and support, while campaigning for better services, more effective treatments and greater investment in research until our vision is achieved and M.E. is overcome.
Forums are online places where you can discuss things or get peer support from people in a similar situation.

Another website M.E. Support is one of the leading Websites on Myalgic Encephalomyelitis providing information, advice and support. M.E. is little-known and often misunderstood but it is an extensive and debilitating neurological disease. It is also referred as Myalgic Encephalopathy, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), Chronic Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome (CFIDS) or Post Viral Fatigue Syndrome (PVFS).
This is a very nasty and much-misunderstood illness. It’s good that there is support and back-up for those who suffer. Good one, Barbara.

Thanks gilly, there is a local Fibromyalgia support group who are trying to raise awareness about it with their own annual event so I am going to try and help them do this, hopefully with the support of people reading my blog. 🙂

When it started here, it was called Tapanui flu. They didn’t know much about it and the first patients came from Tapanui in Southland.
