The National ME/FM Action Network

is a Canadian, registered, non-profit organization with worldwide membership founded by Lydia Neilson in 1993 and dedicated to advancing the recognition and understanding of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) and Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) through education, advocacy, support, and research.

The Network seeks to effect positive change in the attitudes, policies, and practices of government, medical governing bodies, business, the media, and the general public.
