The Consensus Documents for ME/CFS and FMS are clinical milestones in the fight against these complex and often debilitating illnesses. The National ME/FM Action Network wishes to thank all the members of the Expert Consensus Panels, and their Consensus Coordinator, Marjorie van de Sande, our Director of Education, for all the time and effort put into these documents. We also wish to thank our Members for their constant support and encouragement to see these documents to fruition.

      

      Haworth Press Thanks the
National ME/FM Action Network

Prior to the publications of the ME/CFS and FMS Consensus Documents, Haworth Press thanked the National ME/FM Action Network for their years of work to bring the Consensus Documents to fruition.  In appreciation, Haworth Press advised the Network that our members would enjoy a substantial discount on the price of the Consensus Documents and that they were giving us permission to post the Consensus Documents on our website as soon as they were available, with the compliments of Haworth Press.
