There are a number of excellent support groups for ME/CFS patients, and many also have good information resources about the disease.
One of the very best is, of course, us! Phoenix Rising is run by and for patients, and as well as our information pages (accessed via our home page menu), you can find information and support on our very active and friendly forum, which is the largest ME/CFS forum in the world.
Below are listed the main international ME/CFS forums (and, like ours, some have information pages), and the charities and groups who offer information and support.
Research charities are listed on a separate page.
