ANZMES stands for the “Associated New Zealand Myalgic Encephalomyelitis Society Inc.” We are the National Advisory on ME in Aotearoa/New Zealand. With four decades of knowledge and experience, we are the trusted leaders in ME education, representation, and research. We were the first ME organisation in the world, founded in 1980. Our expertise comes from a reputable medical team of advisors, including a world renowned expert and MNZM recipient, a fellow of the Royal NZ College of General Practitioners (RNZCGP) and a network of academic researchers, clinicians, and representatives from the ME community. The executive committee comprises experts in their respective fields for governance, policy, leadership, representation, and education. ANZMES is run by an executive committee of unpaid volunteers who dedicate their time and energy to the cause. The team is passionate about raising awareness, reducing stigma, advocating for improved outcomes, and ensuring relevant evidence-based biomedical research is funded in New Zealand.

Research: Myalgic Encephalomyelitis is clear to see in the blood - By Simon McGrath "In a huge study, researchers at Edinburgh University analysing blood biomarker data have found many differences between people with ME and healthy controls. The team also showed that these differences do not result from inactivity, which blows another hole in the deconditioning theory of ME/CFS." Read more here: https://lnkd.in/ej7VSnsV N.B.The paper is a preprint, which means it hasn’t yet been reviewed by other researchers or published. The authors plan to submit their work for review and publication in a journal. #pwME #MECFS #MyalgicE #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #Research #Blood #BloodBiomarker

Our condolences to Francis' family and friends. Francis was a character. He loved to explain things thoroughly during our meetings. We'll miss his passion and dedication for pwME. His contributions to the European ME Coalition and to World ME Alliance will live on. This is very sad news indeed and a big loss.
We are deeply saddened to share that one of our colleagues, Francis Martin, died this week in an accident. Francis joined us as representative of the European ME Coalition, and quickly became a dedicated part of our work. Constantly pushing us to think bigger and broader, he joined our WHO Strategy Subgroup with the same passion. We know he brought many people together in his lifetime, building bridges and connections that aided all our work. This is reflected in the sadness of World ME Alliance members across the globe, and we all send our deepest sympathies to his family. Francis' funeral will take place on Saturday 17th August. https://buff.ly/3STOIhZ Thank you Francis, for all your gave to advocate for people with ME.

To create safer environment for people with #SevereME, 🗣️ always allow ADVOCATES 🗣️. Speaking takes immense energy for people with Severe ME and some are unable to speak. Obtain consent from the outset to have a family member or advocacy worker to speak on their behalf. https://buff.ly/3ysAOfO #MECFS #SevereMEDay #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis
