ME-ung

ME-ung is a supportive community for young people living with myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) and the people close to them. Its work focuses on helping young people affected by ME and their families find understanding, connection, and ways to improve everyday life. The organization offers a low-pressure environment where members can take part as much or as little as their energy allows, without needing to explain their condition to others.

ME-ung provides opportunities to meet and connect with people who understand the challenges of living with ME, as well as a network for family members and other supporters. Its activities include digital and in-person gatherings designed for different energy levels. Online participation can be especially flexible: people may join from bed, wear comfortable clothes, and keep their camera off. The website also shares information about ME, including its description as a neurological illness associated with impaired energy production, alongside resources, frequently asked questions, and updates.
