ME is a complex illness and managing all aspects of living with the condition, such as getting the most out of your GP and managing your sleep and eating, can feel confusing. We have lots of information and resources available to help guide you through managing your health.
When living with ME, it's understandable that your education will be affected and this can be hard to manage. You may need to arrange for adjustments or a support plan to be put in place at your school or university, and you may be worried about losing friends. We're here to help.
