The Welsh Association of ME/CFS Support (WAMES), through website, news blog, email, Facebook, twitter and Instagram, provides ways to access information and discuss issues of interest for people with ME, their families, carers and service providers in Wales.
We share information about ME, an illness which can make you very unwell and weak, and in some people can last for a long time. It belongs to the family of illnesses called ‘neurological’. People of all ages can get it. It is an illness of many names but we prefer to call it ME
ME – Myalgic Encephalomyelitis or ME/CFS.
We also share information about PVFS – Post Viral Fatigue Syndrome [You may be told this is what you have if your recovery from Glandular Fever or another virus is slow].
Long COVID is also a post-viral condition and many people may also meet the criteria for ME/CFS and can benefit from information that helps people with ME.
