Breaking down barriers people with ME/CFS face
Rejected

What the petition asks
From personal experience along side speaking to others I have found that all of us who suffer with ME(Myalgic Encephalopathy) have one thing in common. We all have a range of different barriers we are facing. These barriers range from accessing education, health services or in general friendships.
An estimated 250,000 people in Britain are battling this illness.
My aim is to find a way to campaign and have these barriers knocked down in some way to help make life that little bit easier for all us with ME. Please help by supporting this movement in order for me to be able to achieve this!

Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
We can't accept your petition in its current form as it does not call for a clear action from the UK Government and Parliament. You could start a petition calling on the Government to raise awareness of ME or for the Government to provide extra support to those suffering from ME.
