Welcome to ME Positive East Midlands, the Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) support group for the East Midlands. We are a friendly and welcoming group; all of us either have had or have ME/CFS.  

Location   Most of our members are based in Leicester City, Leicestershire and Rutland; we also have people from Derbyshire and  further afield. 

What we do    We provide an informal helpline, social events - online during the winter months - and regular updates on medical research and treatments. We also endeavour to put local people with ME/CFS in touch with each other by phone or e-mail.

Phone support Many of our members are housebound; we are available on the phone to offer friendship and support; however, we are all volunteers with limits on our energy, and do our best within these fluctuating limitations. Tel: 07748 607 250

Social events   Pre-CoViD-19, organised social events were a significant and enjoyable aspect of our group, providing the opportunity to make new friends and share experiences in dealing with this disabling condition; we currently meet either online most months (with the advantage of no travelling!), and a couple of times in-person when the weather is warmer so we can sit outdoors,  when CoViD-19 rates are low. 

We look forward to hearing from you!
