Owner's Story
The FM/CFS/ME RESOURCES story begins in the summer of 1978, when at the age of 18,
Misty Roberts began having unexplained pain and trouble walking. Misty spent the next
10 years going to doctors of every specialty in an attempt to find an answer. After
numerous tests, the conclusion was always the same:
"There's nothing physically wrong with you."
In the winter of 1988, Misty was finally diagnosed with a
severe form of Fibromyalgia (FM). A few months later she was also diagnosed with
CFS/ME. She immediately began researching these often misunderstood and debilitating
conditions and found that there very little reliable information online. She felt that
patients and health care providers needed a resource for information that was helpful and
easily accessible.
FM/CFS/ME RESOURCES
In the spring of 1997, after teaching herself to use the computer and make a web site, Misty
created FM/CFS/ME RESOURCES. Using her 31 years of experience with Fibromyalgia and CFS/ME,
Misty has dedicated the last 11 years to providing research, support and education. She also
provides resources for finding doctors, disability attorneys and support groups worldwide.
Mission
Our mission has always been straightforward: to provide support, education, and informational
resources to people with FM and CFS/ME, the medical community and anyone who'd like to learn
more. We strive to keep you up to date on medical news and
research as well as continuing to provide coping tips and treatments
for the FM and CFS/ME patient.
