I'm interested in hearing from people who have, or know someone
who has, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

1) How long have you had it  ?
2) How was it diagnosed ?
3) What treatments have you tried, with what effect ?
4) Where have you obtained information on the illness ?
5) What kind of response have you evoked from Physicians ?

Some of you might be aware of the CFIDS association, which is
a support group of people who have this disease; they have a journal
that they put out that has the latest research on it.

My brother-in-law (a reporter) is doing research on this illness,
and I would appreciate any help.

It appears that this disease, since it is clearly widespread, and yet
not totally acknowledged by the medical profession, has very serious
socio-economic consequences.

Thanks in advance - I promise to keep all information strictly
confidential - feel free to omit names etc if you prefer.
