    Migraine treatments

    Yes, just like mine, too, though I have had them very rarely, and having worked out what triggers mine, it's been several years, now, since I've had another.

    United Kingdom: ME Association governance issues

    I agree it should be the Chair of Trustees making public statements in response to this situation. I think part of the problem is that CS sometimes takes upon himself the role of unofficial CEO (an office the ME Association has not had since Val Hockey stepped down in 2003/4). I've come across...

    United Kingdom: ME Association governance issues

    I don't know, but I would imagine this was a Board of Trustees' decision. Thing is, the ME Association is a membership org. The BoT exists only to serve the memberships' best interests. Why was this not put out for membership consultation? In the past, the MEA has held membership postal votes...

    World ME Alliance, was previously IAFME: International Alliance for ME

    My understanding is that she was on a two year contract for which AfME had secured funding. I think she quit before the two years was up and further years' funding was being sought. She already worked in Geneva with NGOs.

    World ME Alliance, was previously IAFME: International Alliance for ME

    The IAME were seeking to establish a consultation channel with the WHO, since Alex H was first installed in Geneva. My understanding is that formal letters from the IAME to WHO Director General, Dr Tedros "we hear you" Ghebreyesus, were ignored by WHO. The IAME requested a meeting with Dr...
