Please stop by and help give M.E. sufferers the chance of a future



You're busy? You don't have a lot of energy "spoons" to spare? 
This only takes a few moments.


Please sign this petition if you feel you can.


It calls for funding into bio-medical research into M.E.  
Not wasting funds on the psychological lobby or big pharmaceutical conglomerates with their own agendas.

The definition of M.E. as a neurological illness as classified by the World Health Organisation is widely acknowledged. However, why is the funding in the UK given to the psychiatric lobby and NOT into clinical or bio-medical research? Is it because this area is monopolised by those with particular vested interests?


Here is the petition: it will take a couple of minutes at most to sign. You can do this from the site itself, or simply log in from Facebook or Twitter.


38 Degrees Petition calling for Bio-Medical Research into M.E.

Here is what I wrote as my comment as I signed:

'M.E. is physically crushing to the lives of children, young people with all their lives in front of them, and hardworking men and women who suddenly have the carpet of health, life and livelihoods pulled out from under them in the misdst of their active plans, joys and dreams. Please don't crush us further by the outrage of calling this merely psychological. Bio-medical research is the only way to unlock this prison so please let this be the path taken in future.'

Please do what you're able and bless you for taking the time.
