Write to ME - Penpals                      Homepage

We've had several requests from members to set up a penpal scheme, so here it is. If you'd like to write to anyone on the list, please write or email into the group office quoting the penpal's reference number; also write or email in if you would like to feature in this section in future editions. We will accept email penpals as well as snail-mail, so if you write to us by post, please include your email address if you have one.
Sadly, we cannot be an exchange point for contact between email & postal penpals.

Disclaimer We at ME Support cannot accept any responsibility for anything that happens as a consequence of this service. We operate this service only as a contact reference point and cannot determine if the description of  anyone who wants to subscribe to this list is true.

Hi, my name is Karen. I am 24 years old and I live with my parents. I am looking for a penpal of any age from anywhere. I have not yet been diagnosed as having ME but I have similar symptoms and I am unable to work at the moment. I have 2 cats that keep me company throughout the day. One of them is only 18 months old, so she can be a little monster. I collect anything to do with teddies, especially Cherished Teddies. I enjoy cross-stitch and Plastic Canvas work and I love trying out different crafts. So, if you have a few spare minutes why not drop me a line, I would love to hear from you.
Hope to hear from you soon,    Karen.                             Postal/email.   Ref A001

I would be most grateful if someone , especially a young lady of around Alex's age , 17 years old, who  would like to write to him. Preferably by email as he has problems writing. His interests are mainly Music, he has quite a collection of CD's. He likes to create tapes for his friends, loves his dog Lucy and loves programmes like 'Pet Rescue'. He is very sensitive and a caring soul, lots of fun with a great sense of humour. Since being ill he has taken up doing jigsaws, something he would never have considered before, but now really enjoys. He used to love cycling but hasn't been on a bike for over 2 years.
email only.         Ref A002

My name is Jo, I am 30 years old, but not over the hill!! I have had ME for many years and it really gets me down.

I would like someone to write to who has ME, to share laughter & tears. I love music, I play bass guitar (when I'm well enough) in a jazz ensemble for an hour and a half each week....thankfully my hands work a little better than my legs, but I am quite disabled on the whole and my energy levels are very low.

It would be especially nice to hear from other musicians who have this condition, but I will answer all! Please write soon.
