The ME/CFS Society of NSW Inc.

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E.), also referred to as Myalgic Encephalopathy, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), Chronic Post-viral Fatigue Syndrome and Chronic Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome (CFIDS) is a serious, very debilitating and complex illness that affects multiple systems in the body. Although chronic fatigue (CF) is a very common health problem, ME/CFS affects only about 0.2-0.4% of the population (based on a recent high quality US study).

Continuing your education with ME/CFS/FM can be a challenge in the fast paced world we live in. Thankfully, modern education providers are better equipped to accommodate disabled students than ever before. With alternative entry pathways and disability support staff at most tertiary institutions, there are now more avenues to educational success available to students with ME/CFS/FM and other chronic illnesses. Remember that continuing your education is like a choose‐your‐own‐adventure novel: there is no set path.

The Society has an extensive library of over 150 books, 60 video and 70 audio tapes on a range of topics relating to ME/CFS, Fibromyalgia and related illnesses. There are even a few cookbooks for people with food intolerances.

Borrowing is available to all members of the society, however if your membership is about to lapse, you will be required to renew before you are able to borrow. A maximum of three (3) items may be borrowed at any one time.
