Debate in Parliament the lack of government funding of medical research for M.E

Petition Details

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) means "muscle pain plus inflammation of the brain/spinal cord", a chronic neurological illness. *Currently, there is very little funding from the UK government and the responsibility is being left to independent researchers and charities.

Additional Information

Listed by the World Health Organisation as a disorder of the nervous system, ME/CFS affects an estimated 250,000 people in the UK, 17million people across the world. A debilitating illness impacting both patients and caregivers, often going ignored by doctors until the point of crisis. We need to open up the conversation about M.E and stop ignoring those who are unable to campaign for change. It’s our responsibility to give them hope, by signing this petition. #stopignoringM.E
