About The Richmond and Kingston M.E. Group

We offer members support through:

• Newsletter
• Telephone helpline
• E-mail chat group
• Library
• Coffee mornings

We are also involved in publicising ME/CFS, in campaigning for better local and domiciliary services and in supporting biomedical research into ME.

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis(ME) or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) can affect anyone, at any age, and from any ethnic group.

250,000 people, 25% children, are estimated to have ME in the UK. 25% are so severely affected they are housebound or bedbound. 77% of adults have lost their job.

Common symptoms include severe exhaustion, unrefreshing sleep, poor concentration, headache, muscle pain and digestive problems.

People with ME still face ignorance and prejudice.

There is no cure and more biomedical research is needed to find effective treatments.
