Myalgic Encephalomyelitis Action Network Inc

#MEAction is an international network of patients fighting for health equality for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). We build community and mobilize patients, families, and allies to make ME/CFS visible and fight for health equality. We were founded with the belief that while we may find it difficult to advocate for ourselves in the physical world, by making our activism accessible, we can be an unstoppable force. ME/CFS is a complex chronic disease that presents with symptoms in multiple body systems. A neurological disease according to the World Health Organization, susceptibility may be genetic, but the disease is triggered by infection in the majority of patients. ME/CFS may be severe: 75% of those affected are unable to work and 25% are homebound or bedridden. ME/CFS is a common chronic consequence of viruses, with 10-12% of those with serious infection going on to develop the disease. An estimated 15-30 million people live with the disease worldwide.
