Oxfordshire ME Group for Action

Oxfordshire ME Group for Action This OMEGA page is a public page for everyone affected by or interested in issues connected to ME/CFS in Oxfordshire, especially OMEGA activities.

OMEGA (Oxfordshire ME Group for Action) is a support and campaign group for people with ME/CFS (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Encephalopathy); and their carers, friends, and family. Members can benefit from contact with other people who recognise and understand the illness. Members give each other friendship and support, exchange information about treatments, and learn from each other about the manage

ment of this long-term illness. We hope that everyone finds the page informative and interesting. People of all ages, faiths, disabilities, ethnicities, genders and sexual orientations are welcome. OMEGA would like this page to be a safe and friendly place and we encourage people to post any items they think would be of interest to other members. Please feel free to discuss your views on the articles, while respecting the opinions of others. Bullying, discriminatory or disrespectful language are not acceptable (this includes the use of sentences in capital letters which is considered 'shouting'). If any individual's behaviour is considered unacceptable/offensive/inflammatory by the moderators, the person may be blocked from the group and/or their comments removed. The moderators are all volunteers, and it may take us a while to respond to messages.

Sometimes the most meaningful reminders of why we do this work arrive in the mail.

Recently, Dr. Bateman received this handwritten note from a person living with ME/CFS, expressing gratitude for the care, research, and dedication that continue to move the field forward.

To our community: thank you for sharing your stories, your experiences, and your encouragement. They remind us every day why education, research, and compassionate care matter.

💙 We are honored to serve this community.

Dr Sarah Annesley at La Trobe University has updated us on her study looking at changes in microRNA profiles in platelets from women with ME/CFS. The team has recruited more than half of their planned participants, collected and processed blood samples from them, and optimised the methods they will use to analyse the platelets. They now plan to finish recruitment and start their analyses.
