OMEGA is the Oxfordshire Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) Group for Action. We are a  self-help group, founded in 1989.

OMEGA is the support group for people with ME or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and their carers. Members can benefit from contact with other people who recognise and understand the illness. Members give each other friendship and support, exchange information about treatments, and learn from each other about the management of this long-term illness.
