About The Richmond and Kingston ME 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.

A quarter of a million people, 25 per cent of whom are children, are estimated to have ME in the UK; 25 per cent of them are so severely affected they are housebound or bedbound; and 77 per cent 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.
