People with ME/CFS piloting the survey found each questionnaire only took about 5 minutes to complete.

Please share widely to encourage others to participate.

We have reached our initial goal of 500 fully completed surveys. With your help we hope to reach a new target of 1000 complete sets of data. The greater the reach of this survey the more we can improve international understanding of how ME/CFS impacts patients and their family members. Thank you and best wishes,
