ME - What it IS…

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) is a severe systemic, acquired illness
Estimated to be 2* as common as MS and 3* times more prevalent than HIV/AIDS,
Clear clinical symptoms which manifest predominantly based on neurological, immunological and endocrinological dysfunction
Multi-factorial pathogenesis with the hypothesis of initiation by a viral infection prominent.
Most frequently follows an acute prodromal infection, varying from upper respiratory infections, bronchitis or sinusitis, or gastroenteritis, or an acute “flu-like” illness.
Before acquiring ME most patients were healthy, leading full and active lifestyles.
Reaction to physical and mental activity and sensory input is unique to ME.
Over-exertion can make ME worse and the effects are often delayed and may not be seen within 24 hours.
Symptoms can range from mild to very severe and can include:
Cardiac and Cardiovascular Problems

Cognitive Dysfunction
Gastro-intestinal Problems
Headaches
Hormonal Imbalance

Immunological Problems
Muscle Weakness and Intense Pain
Neurological Problems
Sleep Problems

What Needs To Be Done?

The last decades have seen no major investment into correct research into myalgic encephalomyelitis.
Instead an approach to research has been taken which, despite objections from the patient community, has largely funded flawed psychiatric research about the disease.

This needs to be changed. Funding has to be given to biomedical research and new knowledge from other disciplines such as virology, immunology , endocrinology etc has to be brought in to help research into ME.

High Quality Biomedical Research

The most promising route to finding cause and treatment

Correct Examinations for Patients

In order to perform clinical trials the cohort of patients being used need to be correctly categorised. This demands consultants to correctly diagnose ME. This does not occur in all cases presently.

Up-to-Date Education

Education about ME is the foundation for future treatments. Medical students and the government and media outlets need correct and up-to-date information and education about ME.

Adequate Funding

There has been very little funding for biomedical research into ME.

What Are We Doing?

Invest in ME Research has produced a strategy of answers to the major problems and we are attempting as best we can to effect the necessary change.

High Quality Biomedical Research

Invest in ME Research has initiated and funded high-quality biomedical research at UCL and UEA and IFR - and brought in collaborations with other researchers in Bergen, Uppsala, Berlin and within the UK in Oxford. Research

Correct Examinations

Our aim is to have consultants who specialise in ME performing a thorough set of examinations for people with ME.

Up-to-Date Education

We have implemented a plan to educate medical students by allowing them to intercalate in their fourth year of training into biomedical research projects we are funding.

Adequate Funding

Invest in ME Research and supporters have raised almost £700,000 in recent years for biomedical research.

About Us

Invest in ME Research (IiMER) was set up with the objectives of making a change in how ME is perceived and treated in the media, by health departments and by healthcare professionals. We aim to do this by identifying the three key areas to concentrate our efforts on - funding for biomedical research, education and lobbying. Invest in ME Research aims to collaborate and coordinate events and activities in these areas in order to provide the focus and funding to allow biomedical research to be carried out.

Invest in ME Research want to establish an international strategy of biomedical research into ME and establish a UK and European Centre of Excellence for biomedical research into ME. Please help make ME an illness which is properly understood and where adequate funding is provided for biomedical research into ME allowing treatments and cures to be found.

A Centre of Excellence for ME

Invest in ME Research - an independent UK charity

Building a solid foundation for future biomedical research into ME.

"....with the other expertise and facilities located at the Norwich Research Park, puts it in a very good position to lead a UK and European Centre of Excellence for biomedical research for M.E. to provide possible prevention and solutions."

- Professor Ian Charles Director of Institute of Food Research and Head of Quadram Institute

Other Invest in ME Research Activity

Research

IIMER are facilitating a strategy of biomedical research into ME. The charity is currently funding possibly the two most important research projects for ME in the UK.
Currently the main hubs of research are at UEA/IFR in the Norwich Research Park and at UCL.

Advisory Board

The IIMER Advisory Board is made up of eminent reseachers who are helping the charity to form a credible and productive biomedical research strategy which will provide the best and quickest route for translating research into possible treatments and cures for this disease.

European Collaboration

Invest in ME Research are one of the founder members of the European ME Alliance (EMEA) – a grouping of charities and patient organisations working together across Europe. Now thirteen countries collaborating.

Let's Do It For ME

Let's do it for ME! is a patient-driven campaign to raise awareness and vital funds for a UK Centre of Excellence for translational biomedical research into ME, clinical assessment, diagnosis and treatment for patients, training and information for healthcare staff, which would be based around the Norwich Research Park in the UK and aiming to work collaboratively with international biomedical researchers.

Research Colloquiums

In addition to the International ME Conference the charity also organises an annual International Research Colloquium which attracts researchers from around the world in order to discuss experiences and open up collaborations in order to find answers for this disease. By facilitating and initiating these links far quicker progress can be made in finding the cause of this disease.

Centre of Excellence for ME

Translational biomedical research - an iterative feedback of information between the basic and clinical research domains in order to accelerate knowledge translation from lab to bedside and back to lab again - allows translation of findings in basic research more quickly and efficiently into medical practice to produce more meaningful health outcomes and facilitate the sharing of repositories and research-based facilities and laboratories. This is the model IiMER are attempting to promote in our proposal for an examination and research facility based in Norwich.

Comments About Invest in ME Research Conferences

Just wanted to congratulate you on an excellent conference last week. It was great to see so many of the leading researchers into ME all in one room, and all pulling in the same direction.
- Delegate

I really believe all this is due to the amazing job you have been doing through the years building up this network of research excellence connected to ME patients. It is said that if a boat is not pushed it will never advance… You are definitively the best motor the ME boat could have found. Also, without patient participation, researchers can do nothing. (From BRMEC6 researcher delegate)

Thank you for again making this conference available for ordinary patients at such a reasonable price. The conference was extraordinary and brought hope to me and my family. Thank you for all you are doing.
- Delegate

Fantastic conference, many thanks for your hard work. I thought it was fantastic, massively informative, encouraging, inspiring, necessary. It was very powerful hearing so much material from the doctors, researchers and speakers themselves, very, very impressive.
- Delegate

I enjoyed it all - especially being given ideas that may be able to use in practice and to be given ideas for where to look for future research to keep updated in CFS/ME practice. I have been able to gain a better understanding of CFS/ME and diagnostic criteria and changes to it. It is also very useful to be aware of research that is going on and how practices differ in UK to USA.
- From Conference feedback form (from NHS professional)

Thank you for a wonderfully organized conference! The yearly IiME conferences have become the most important events in Europe, with the best speakers and with focus on subjects that really matters in the battle that we are all fighting.
- Delegate

The diverse background of speakers pulling together novel research reflecting similar pathological phenotypes in chronic fatigue with numerous underlying genotypes and infections
- Delegate

It was a professional and superbly run Conference.
- Delegate

This really was the best conference yet ---- WELL DONE indeed to you. Every aspect of the conference works so well and the conference is beginning to get a family feel about it giving some of us the one and only chance each year to meet up.
- Delegate

Opened new lines for looking at literature references, in order to enhance research on CFS/ME.
- Delegate

It is encouraging to see how much research is taking place and how many great medical professionals are making towards diagnosis and more recognition. Having relatives with ME feels much like a solitary experience and it is good to come to an event where there are people who are experiencing the same thing.
Very good organisation of the event, wide variety of speakers and materials.
- Delegate

You are doing incredible work. The whole event was absolutely brilliant.
- Delegate

You are certainly running things efficiently and well and are to be congratulated on arranging and managing this excellent conference!

HELP US FUND INVEST in ME RESEARCH CONFERENCES

The Invest in ME Research International ME Conferences are CPD accredited biomedical conferences which provide a platform for the latest information and biomedical research on myalgic encephalomyelitis. They attract the most renowned speakers from all over the world - and are valuable sources of education and information for healthcare professionals, doctors, nurses, researchers, ME support groups and people with ME. They provide an excellent insight into these areas and the issues currently facing the healthcare and ME patient communities. Our conferences and, later, our Colloquiums have been facilitating interaction and sharing of information between patients, researchers and clinicians for almost 10 years.
The Invest in ME Research International Biomedical Research into ME Colloquiums began as a way of bringing together researchers from around the world in a round-table discussion of ME research and ideas. Over the years this has broadened to sharing of experiences, data and plans. The charity has now put in place the key building blocks to take ME research into the 21st century with high-quality biomedical research in world class organisations being performed by some of the best researchers.This is a basis for a strategy of international biomedical research which will hold far greater promise of creating proper funding and awareness of biomedical research into ME.
To see what has been performed over ten years please go to this link.

DONATE to the BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH FUND

What is ME

ME stands for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis.
Benign Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME)/Post Viral Fatigue Syndrome (PVFS) is a multisystem, complex, acquired illness with symptoms related mainly to the dysfunction of the brain, gastro-intestinal, immune, endocrine and cardiac systems. ME/PVFS has been classified as a neurological disorder in the World Health Organisation's International Classification of Diseases since 1969 (ICD 10 G93.3). Since 1992, the term "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome" (CFS) has been included in the Alphabetical Index and indexed to G93.3.
The Chief Medical Officer's Report on the subject of CFS/ME (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) issued in January 2002 recognises that "CFS/ME should be classed as a chronic condition with long term effects on health, alongside other illnesses such as multiple sclerosis and motor neurone disease
To date there is no known specific medical diagnostic test to determine or confirm a correct diagnosis nor is there any specific treatment for this condition.
