Dear Visitor,

FM/CFS/ME RESOURCES is here solely to enable you to learn more about FM and CFS/ME. We have compiled a multitude of resources including doctor, drug, disability and support group information to enable you to take control of your illness. Ultimately, we're here to find a cure. Together, with the support of others like you, we can find a cure.

When I was diagnosed with FM and CFS/ME in the summer of 1988, I found very little reliable information about these often misunderstood and debilitating conditions. I established FM/CFS/ME RESOURCES in the fall of 1997 to provide support, education, and informational resources to people with FM and CFS/ME, the medical community and others who'd like to learn more. I've used my 30+ years of experience with FM and CFS/ME to help people with FM and CFS/ME to live a better life. My duties at FM/CFS/ME RESOURCES are to oversee the content, design, and over all look of this web site.

In October of 2006, Dean Nielson came on board as my co-founder. Dean is a concerned individual whose knowledge of database administration, programming and experience in Information Technology has been invaluable. He is responsible for the server and the back end support of the web site. Dean has devoted many long hours, free of charge, helping with this web site, and our sister site (CMP RESOURCES). Dean also provides server space for both web sites free of charge, enabling us to give you ad-free, unbiased information. Together, we make up the FM/CFS/ME RESOURCES development team.

FM/CFS/ME RESOURCES provides you with a large quantity of accurate medical information related to Fibromyalgia (FM) and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome / Myalgic Encephalopathy (CFS/ME). Our first objective is to assist in finding the cause and cure for FM and CFS/ME. By taking the FM/CFS/ME Survey, you are helping us to reach this goal. The second objective is to inform and assist patients, caregivers, and families living with FM and CFS/ME. To achieve this goal, we provide a wealth of resources to enable individuals to take control of their illness.

The What's New option is your first stop for news and updates regarding FM, CFS/ME and this web site. The FAQ's option answers many commonly asked questions concerning FM, CFS/ME and Pediatric CFS/ME. The Search Site option enables you to easily find any information within this web site. Our Basic Resources contains references that will enable you to learn more about your illness and help you to live a better life. The Support Group resources contain In-person and Online support group information, along with instructions on how to List Your Group with us, information on how to Start A Group of your own, and articles such as Getting The Most From Support Groups. We also have a new section entitled Family & Friends. This page contains information that explains what you're experiencing, helping your family and friends to better understand you and your illness.

Feel free to Contact Us with any questions or comments you might have. I sincerely hope that you find this site useful.

Together, Finding The Cure,

Founder - Patient
