YTD Raised: £11,585.00The ME Trust is working towards the day when all those suffering from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) have access to the best resources for diagnosis, treatment and care to enable early and full recovery. CFS/ME is an umbrella term for a neurological disease or spectrum of diseases. People who are severely affected can be bed-bound and in severe pain for many years. Common symptoms include extreme exhaustion, muscle and joint pain, noise and light sensitivities, cognitive impairment and digestive problems. The ME Trust is the only charity in the UK that is focused on providing life-transforming patient care for people suffering from this debilitating illness. A quarter of a million people in the UK suffer from CFS/ME. There is no cure for CFS/ME and there has been a lack of adequate support for the majority of people with the disease. Many who need hospital care or specialist referrral are left at home without the help they so badly need.NHS in-patient care for people with CFS/ME is almost non-existent. Private medical insurance typically does not cover the illness. The ME Trust is working in association with Burrswood Hospital to provide care specifically adapted to each patients needs. Burrswood has almost 20 years experience of helping CFS/ME patients and offers the highest levels of both clinical and compassionate care. Your kind contribution will help the ME Trust transform the lives of people with CFS/ME. Thank you so much for your support.
