MYALGIC Encephalomyelitis (M.E., sometimes diagnosed as chronic fatigue syndrome) is a fluctuating, neurological condition that can severely affect someone’s ability to live and work. Difficulties in diagnosing it can leave people searching for answers about how to manage.

The free Mentor M.E. project can help. Being a parent, coping with work, managing well-being, feeling isolated, losing contact with friends, and challenging misconceptions about this invisible illness are all topics our mentors have supported mentees with.

If you have M.E., or care for someone who does, get in touch to find out how we can help.
