The M.E. Trust is working towards the day when all those suffering from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) have access to the best resources for diagnosis, treatment and care to enable early and full recovery.
Approximately a quarter of a million people in the UK suffer from CFS/ME. CFS/ME is a an umbrella term for a neurological disease or spectrum of diseases that cause extreme exhaustion, muscle and joint pain, noise and light sensitivities, cognitive impairment, digestive problems and a host of other symptoms.
There is no scientific cure for CFS/ME and there has been a lack of adequate care and support for the majority of people with CFS/ME.
In 2009 our Founder interviewed the then Clinical Vice President of the Royal College of Physicians, Dr Mike Cheshire, who candidly admitted: ‘ME does tend to fall through the net.’
The M.E.Trust seeks to change that and improve people’s lives.
