ME/CFS Pal Program

An online penpal service for patients with ME/CFS.

People suffering from ME/CFS (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome) often feel isolated or get increasingly so over time. Patients often are and feel misunderstood by their environment due to the little knowledge available surrounding this illness.

The purpose of this website is to create an easy bridge between patients in search for support, friendship or simply someone to say hi to every so often. Patients of any degree of severity and with any commorbid disease are welcome!

How it works!

Simply fill out this form. It contains 6 short questions to keep it nice and simple. There are some optional questions for those who wish to share more information or like to specify what kind of contact they are looking for.

That information gets put in a list available on this site, which can be consulted at all time. You can then reach out to people by the contact information they have given.

Ways to connect!

Submitting an e-mail address would be the easiest to simplify the first contact and to somewhat uniform the process so nobody gets left out. But usernames on any social media, message boards or other platforms are welcome as well!

If you don’t want to use your personal e-mail address here is a link for some options to create an alternative one.

If you are looking for a penpal to exchange letters with make sure you make that clear when you fill out the form! Addresses will be swapped between individual members.

Disclaimer: do not give out any personal information until you feel comfortable doing so with someone you contact.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or suggestions!
