Recent CFIDS survey.....
Here's a summary of a recent survey of people with CFIDS. Courtesy of the CFIDS newsletter.....
From the CEO's Desk
It really is quite difficult to properly describe the size and scope of what we carelessly label "fatigue" in the context of chronic illness. The only useful analogy I was ever able to give to healthy people is to tell them to think of the last time they were totally knocked out by the flu, then imagine feeling that way every day for the rest of their lives. Yeah, it's like that, only worse because there are so many other things in your body simultaneously going wrong, but that's usually a good starting point.
