The ME/CFS Society of WA
(AU, 61012534794) Browse events
YTD Raised: $4,978.85Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is a complex and potentially devastating chronic illness affecting multiple body systems/organs including the brain and central nervous system. The most common symptoms are severe, persistent and incapacitating physical and mental fatigue/exhaustion, sleep dysfunction, widespread and intense muscular/joint pain and impaired cognitive function, concentration and short-term memory. A distinctive feature of the illness is post-exertional malaise/fatigue and a worsening of symptoms following even minimal or trivial physical/mental exertion. Sufferers experience a highly individualized and variable constellation off symptoms that can fluctuate markedly in severity from day to day and even within any 24 hour period. Many sufferers are completely bed-bound, and are desperately in need of support. The ME/CFS Society of WA (Inc) is a non-profit organization run entirely by volunteers. Both it and its national counterpart (ME/CFS Australia) liaise with government, medical and welfare agencies to raise awareness and understanding of ME/CFS and to encourage the provision of better services for sufferers and their carers. The Society also provides sufferers and their carers with information and support in coping with the devastating consequences of ME/CFS. We would love to be able to provide home-support to the many sufferers who are bed-bound, but we need to raise much needed funds before this can be possible. *News Flash* In the last year or so, many sufferers of CFS in WA are testing positive for Chronic Lyme Disease (an infectious disease caused by bacteria from the genus Borrelia). Chronic Lyme Disease is found in most parts of the world, but is yet to be formally recognised in Australia. The ME/CFS Society of WA also provides support and advocacy for Lyme Disease sufferers in Western Australia.

YTD Raised: $3,980.00For over 40 years, Epilepsy Queensland has been assisting Queensland families touched by epilepsy. Services include education, counselling, information services, children’s and family support programs, specialised training programs, support groups and advocacy. Epilepsy directly affects around 2% (1 in 50) of the population and still remains one of the most misunderstood conditions in today’s society. Approximately 91,000 Queensland children and adults have epilepsy which is more than muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, Parkinson’s disease, motor neurone disease, and several others combined. Anyone can be diagnosed at any age and Epilepsy Queensland helps to replace the fear and uncertainty with knowledge and empowerment. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), it is doubtful there is any other medical condition so universally neglected due to a combination of social stigma, low profile and lack of resources. WHO recognises epilepsy as the world’s most common serious brain disorder. Please help us to bring epilepsy out of the shadows and optimise life for people living with epilepsy. www.epilepsyqueensland.com.au - Phone - 07 3435 5000
