We are developing an online survey of CFIDS sufferers - if you are doing PhD research or are a clinic working in CFIDS, we make the data collected available to you! If you'd like to conduct your own survey through this website, or have questions that you would like asked, please contact us.

All I can do is provide the links - it is up to YOU to provide the quality information to us! Doctor's webrings here

A great guide to understanding this highly complex illness.
When diagnosed with CFS, I didn't know anything about it. I immediately decided to learn all I could about this syndrome, and this book provided more information than I ever hoped for. The authors truly understand what it is like to have CFS, and absolutely validated my feelings and symptoms. The book offers information about prescription drugs, herbal remedies and vitamins that is thorough and helpful. I am glad to report that I am feeling much better after taking some of the recommended supplements, which are not mentioned in any of the other literature I found on this subject. If you are going to buy one book about CFS, this is the one to get. It's the only one you'll need. A reader from Los Angeles, California , April 9, 1999
