What is it like to live with ME/CFS? How hard was it to get an accurate diagnosis? When did it start and how has it affected your life? What tips can you offer to others who may be looking for help / hope? These are the kind of stories we are looking to gather to share with other readers.
Come one, come all to the ME/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Society of NSW Inc.'s 25th Birthday!
October 2006 is our 25th year of operation and we are celebrating! There is something for everyone to get involved in including a party day, an art & crafts competition, a writing competition, and a doctor and patient seminar with respected ME/CFS specialist, Dr Richard Schloeffel.
Get involved! Learn about ME/CFS and ask all those pressing questions! Join in the party fun!
Our Community Support Forum is growing into a wonderful interactive resource for members and the general public alike.
It is designed to provide information and support for those with ME/CFS, FM and other related illnesses, and to provide a friendly and understanding place to chill out for those that like to chat. It even has an area for friends and carers to discuss the day-to-day things and get some helpful advice from others in the same situation.
