Welcome
Dear Visitor,
FM/CFS/ME RESOURCES is here solely to inform and assist patients, caregivers, and families
living with
Fibromyalgia and
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME). On this website you'll
find a multitude of resources including attorney, doctor, drug, disability and
support group
information to enable you to take control of your illness. My ultimate goal is to find
a cure. Together, with the help of others like you, I'm certain a cure will be
found!
Background
In the summer of 1978, at the age of 18 years old, I became sick with FM and CFS/ME. I
spent the next ten years going to doctors of every specialty before I was properly
diagnosed. Once I had my diagnois I searched for anything I could find about these
disabling medical conditions. However, back in 1988 there was very little known or
written about FM and CFS/ME.
Over the next 9 years I worked hard to learn all I could about FM, CFS/ME, how to use a
computer, and how to make a web site. In the fall of 1997 I created FM/CFS/ME RESOURCES
so that people living with these disabling medical conditions could have access to
acurate, up-to-date information, enabling them to live a better life.
Objectives
The first objective of FM/CFS/ME RESOURCES is to assist in finding the cause and cure for
FM and CFS/ME. By taking the FM/CFS/ME Survey, you are helping me to reach this goal. The second objective is to inform and assist
patients, caregivers, and families living with FM and CFS/ME to take control of their
illness. FM/CFS/ME RESOURCES has been providing accurate medical information
related to FM and CFS/ME since 1997.
