ME/cvs Vereniging

The ME/cvs Vereniging is a Dutch association for and by those suffering from ME/CFS and their close ones. The association defines ME as SEID.

Aims
The association's objective is:


 * To inform and raise awareness

History
The ME/cvs Vereniging is a continuation of the ME en CVS Vereniging which was founded 15 April 2005, later renamed to ME/CVS Vereniging. When in 2011 the decision was made to disband the ME/CVS Vereniging and found the ME Vereniging Nederland in its stead, some members and former members lead by Rob Wijbenga did not agree. In a separate meeting they chose to continue some of the old association's activities and to relax the membership requirements. In contrast to the ME Vereniging Nederland and its predecessor, the ME/cvs Vereniging believes that the IOM-criteria for SEID are ME-criteria.

Funding
Their funding comes from individual donations.
