As May is ME Awareness Month, we hope as many people as possible will display our free posters and leaflets, to help dispel the myths that still surround this widely-misunderstood illness.

The poster says 250,000 people across the UK have ME. Anyone, of any age, can be affected. Symptoms include overwhelming exhaustion, poor concentration and memory, unrefreshing sleep, headaches, muscle pain and problems with digestion.
