MEDICATION SURVEY RESULTS
Very little is known about how FM and CFS/ME works. FM/CFS/ME RESOURCES isworking towards solving the FM/CFS/ME puzzle by investigating these diseases in their entirety. My hope is to find a cause, which will point to a cure, thereby eradicating these illnesses completely. Fibromyalgia and CFS/ME patients often take several medications to manage their symptoms. Wouldn't you like to know what other patients are taking and what they think about their medications? View the results of this survey below.
