Prime Minister's Office

More details from petition creator

At present the diagnosis of Chronic Fatigue syndrome & Myalgic encephalomyelitis (which affects around 250,000 people in the UK) can take a minimum of three years. This is due to the fact that Health care professionals do not have a definitive method of diagnosis and at present this occurs through a process of elimination whereby other similar diseases are tested first and if the sufferer does not have these is then deemed that they have CFS or ME.

We the undersigned are therefore petitioning the Prime Minister to raise awareness and funding for research into a clear method of diagnosis.
