Meeting Place - ANZMES' quarterly journal
ANZMES publishes a high quality and useful quarterly journal, posted directly to members. This is a major source of information and support for our members. Joining us will give you the same benefits.

"I just wanted to let you know how valuable your magazine was for me when I was in the thick of ME almost nine years ago. The first year nobody knew what was happening to me. Then an aquaintance put me in touch with somebody whom she thought had had symptoms like me a few years previously. This woman had mostly recovered, but had kept her old ANZMES Magazines ... and bingo, what an eye opener! I was not alone! I was not imagining it! What a relief! Over the years your publication has been a bit of a lifeline for me and I really want to thank you from the bottom of my heart."
