Many events have been postponed or canceled due to COVID-19. We will update this page as more information is provided about the events. We will continue to monitor ME/CFS news and events and will update this page regularly.
ME/CFS Can Affect Anyone
Millions of people worldwide are affected by Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS). Yet the causes, diagnostic markers, progression, and FDA-approved treatments remain unknown. The shared vision of the ME/CFS Collaborative Research Network (ME/CFSnet) is to encourage collaborative research in partnership with individuals and advocacy groups to understand the disease and develop better diagnosis and treatment.
