Advent Calendar for ME

Day 5


Children with ME

“There is clear evidence of the impact of ME/CFS on the education and social development of these young people. The stigma and social effects of pediatric ME/CFS include the loss of normal childhood activities and in some extreme instances, inappropriate forcible separation of children from their parents”
 
- Institute of Medicine (IOM) Report - “Beyond Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Redefining an Illness” February 2015

Children with ME

ME is one of the most challenging conditions for a family with a child with ME - affecting as it does everyone, not just the child with ME.
In the UK an estimated 25,000 children have ME - but nobody knows for sure as data is not currently collected!

Yet the remarkable attitude and spirit of children with ME sets an example for all - and increases parents' determination that this struggle for proper research and eventually treatments will be successful.
