Hi fellow members

The ME Association has today launched a national petition that aims to demonstrate to NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) that people with CFS/ME are not happy with the current guideline or the way in which the current review is being conducted.

Please sign if you agree ...... maybe one day when Fibromyalgia have NICE guidelines which we may disagree with and need help to make a change!!

Please consider supporting by adding your name :)

Hi Shazzzy

The petition it still active as it is been started by a combination of UK Charities including ME Association (MEA) & Action for ME. I did notice however on the comments on MEA that some people on some devices were having difficulty seeing where to sign.

There should be a read bar and a place to add your name under it ?? Hope you can see it OK. Every name counts - Thank You for your help in advance

Hi Emma, have supported lots of petitions no problem. There is nowhere for me to sign this, I am using a tablet but this has always worked before. Tried approaching site different ways.

Confused ..... maybe contact ME Association either by their Facebook page or email meconnect@meassociation.org.uk

Sorry I could not be of any further help - I shared on behalf of them :)

Does a direct link help change.org/p/petition-the-n... for some that have experienced access problems a search for the petition on change.org site has proved an effective work around.

Thanks for this Emma. We need to spread this petition far and wide.

I've already signed and shared it yesterday, but we need to keep doing so as much as possible.

Hugs, Margaret. xxx
