So you have got M.E. Or you know someone who has it. You are not alone - even though you may feel it. It is thought that M.E. now affects up to 240,000 people in this country, with cases of the illness well out-numbering those of M.S. (multiple sclerosis).
A catalogue of all the articles on ME written by Margaret Williams and Professor Malcolm Hooper can now be found at:

DISCLAIMER
I hope that the information on this site will be of some help to you. I am not a doctor. This website is designed to give general information only, and is in no way a substitute for medical advice. I cannot recommend or endorse any particular treatment, and different people respond to different things anyway. If in doubt, seek the advice of a doctor before trying anything new. The advice given in the site is simply what I have learnt from my own experiences of having M.E. I have tried to include the details of M.E. that I would like to have known at the beginning of my illness and to include some practical advice. I also pray that the information given may encourage you to hope in the Lord, however difficult your situation may be.
On any website it would be impossible to cover all the information that is currently available on M.E., but I hope to look briefly at:
- What Is M.E.?
- What Can I Do About M.E.?
- What Other Help Is Available?
- Why Does God Allow Us To Suffer?
- On Eagles Wings
