The Norwegian ME Association, established in 1987 by Ellen V. Piro, is an organization that works to improve conditions for people with myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) in Norway. The association has members all over the country and is organized into county teams, which offer activities and support to members in the various counties.
The organization offers peer-to-peer work, which provides opportunities for support and exchange of experience among members. They are also involved in information work about ME, and carry out surveys to collect experiences with health services. The Norwegian ME Association has a research fund of over NOK 1 million, which is used to support research into the disease. In addition, they are active on social media and organize fundraising campaigns to promote research and support for ME sufferers. The association also provides information on voting rights for people with ME.
