We help people with ME (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis), also known as CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome), to get the best possible treatment and advice to enable them to lead happy and healthy lives.
Forward ME
As well as giving information and advice, reMEmber campaigns for better services and supports biomedical research. We belong to Forward ME, the national group of ME charities which meets at the House of Lords under the chairmanship of the Countess of Mar.
In 2014 Forward-ME established two important points: NICE admits its guideline on ME/CFS is seriously flawed and ME/CFS patients have a legal right to see the NHS specialist of their own choice (answers to a question in Parliament). To explain these points more fully we have reproduced a document and the minutes of the meeting here.
CFS/ME is classified as a neurological illness by the World Health Organisation and the Department of Health. It is important to realise that it can be a serious illness, not just a matter of feeling tired.
The main symptoms are: muscle fatigue, pain, weakness and aching joints; problems with memory and concentration; sore throat; digestive problems; sensitivity to light and noise; painful glands; chest and abdominal pain; headaches.
