IN 2009, our Number One resolution, for those affected by ME (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis), is to make people more aware of this illness and combat the 'yuppie flu' label.
It is not mere tiredness; it is certainly not laziness or malingering, but is a serious neurological illness with a range of symptoms of varying severity, including permanent muscle pain, cognitive dysfunction and dizziness, which "chronic fatigue" alone does not encompass – and even takes life itself away from some poor souls.
We shall no longer be slighted by ignorance.
We all agree that we need a definitive diagnostic test to identify ME as a distinct illness, and that's our goal. Since there is no public funding to conduct crucial biomedical research, we are resolved to do it ourselves.
If you can help us in any way – with administration, computer work, the research, advocacy – or if you are one of the people who needs the help, get in touch today and make our resolutions become reality.
