About this event

Myalgic encephalomyelitis, also called chronic fatigue syndrome or ME/CFS, is a long-term condition with a wide range of symptoms. The most common symptom is extreme tiredness.

ME/CFS can affect anyone, including children. It's more common in women, and tends to develop between your mid-20s and mid-40s.

ME affects an estimated 250,000 people in the UK, and around 17 million people worldwide.
