The Invisible Ones – A conference on Severe ME/CFS and the Way Forward
In October
2015 the Swedish National Society for ME Patients, RME, are arranging two meetings in Sweden.
In Sweden, an estimated 40 000 people suffer from ME/CFS, which is underdiagnosed and often severely debilitating. Among these are many who are severly ill, and often completely homebound or bedridden. This year’s conference focuses therefore on the severly ill, and is aimed primarily at healthcare professionals and politicians.
