Faces of M.E.

In February 2009, Action for M.E. asked people with M.E. to send in their photographs for a new poster: faces of M.E. The pictures poured in. Then came the stories of their illness.

With their permission, we reproduce those photographs and stories here. They are organised alphabetically, by geographical location and name.

Scroll down or jump to your local area by clicking on the A-Z below.

If you have M.E. and you would like to share your story, contact Action for M.E.’s press officer, Kimberley Hogarth by email or on 0117 930 1322, from whom copies of the poster or leaflet are available.

Please note that all pictures/stories have been accepted at face value and in good faith. The mention of a product, therapy or clinic in these pages does not imply that it has been tested or its use endorsed by Action for M.E.
