The following are links to learn more about CFIDS. Where this disease is concerned, knowledge is indeed power. If you need more information, you will surely find it on these pages.
If you are looking for a support group, contact the The CFIDS Association of America; and/or The Massachusetts CFIDS Association
You can also find an online email support group at WECAN.
WECAN offers ways to help in the fight against this illness, as well as an email chat group.

NEW!! Here's a new website I've added. Go to CINDA to find out more about CFIDS and other "invisible" illnesses. This is a great site! Their acronym stands for Chronic Immune and Neurological Diseases Association. They've also got a public relations department. Alot of hard work has gone into this, folks; so be sure and check it out!
Here's Robyn's wonderful site, which also contains info on NMH (Neurally Mediated Hypotension): Robyn's CFIDS/CFS/ME Index She's done such an excellent job, that I feel you ought to visit her at least once!
Check out "Health Link USA" to find out more about ANYTHING health related, including CFIDS and its sister illness, FMS (Fibromyalgia Syndrome).
On all these pages you will find more information about CFIDS and Fibromyalgia. You will also find ways that you can help yourself and others.
Remember to never give up hope. Research is being done to find a cause and a cure for CFIDS. In the meantime, there are doctors and treatments that can help. And plenty of people (like myself) who send you loving thoughts.
