ME/CFS: 

"There are now over 4,000 published studies that show underlying biological abnormalities in patients with this illness.  It's not an illness that people can simply imagine that they have and it's not a psychological illness.  In my view, that debate, which was waged for 20 years, should now be over".

 Dr. A. Komaroff
Harvard Medical School




ME/CFS:  "...If it were called chronic neuroinflammatory disease, then people would get it," she said. "Up until now nobody's been willing to change the name, but now there's proof that inflammation occurs in the brain.

There's evidence that the patients with this illness experience a level of disability that's equal to that of patients with late-stage AIDS, patients undergoing chemotherapy, patients with multiple sclerosis...."

Nancy Klimas, M.D - clinician-researcher,
Faculty, Dept. of Medicine, University of Miami School of Medicine 
President of The International Association for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome


"The four key symptoms of CFS are:

  • the pain
  • the brain
  • the energy drain, and
  • oh, I wish I could sleep again."        

Dr. Charles Lapp
Director: Hunter-Hopkins Centre, Charlotte, North Carolina
Advisory Committe for CFS:  US Department of Health & Human Services
Board of Directors:  American Association for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
