Welcome to the end of the year ‘Story Edition’ of Phoenix Rising.

The edition, which was delayed because of computer problems, was designed to
give ME/CFS patients a chance to ponder the difficulties and opportunities
that millions of people across the globe face as we enter the new year.
The challenges facing the CFS community are enormous.

These are three remarkably different stories; one involves a Canadian now
almost completely disabled but still participating as fiercely as she can, a
Nevadan who’s story illustrates the emotional challenges ME/CFS can pose to
an entire family, and a ME/CFS patient who emerged in complete health after
from many years of suffering. Plus there’s a blog from me about a possible
breakthrough that will provide food for thought for some chronic fatigue
syndrome (ME/CFS) patients.

You can access these stories at the below URL’s.

Linda’s Story – Linda writes of the ups and downs of a 20 year journey with
severe ME/CFS that began in college.

DM’s Story – DM’s *family, with their diagnosis by a prominent physician and
their well documented immune abnormalities, demonstrate how many different
facets – emotional and physical – ME/ **CFS** can have. *

startling return to health after many years of suffering.

This is coming a bit late but I encourage you to take a look back at 2006.

2006- “The Year of Innovation” – was a extraordinarily interesting year in ME/CFS as researchers again and again applied cutting edge technology in their efforts to understand it These efforts resulted in important advances Phoenix Risingin gene expression, heredity, brain research, the search for a biomarker and more. 2006 also produced the most clear cut (and controversial) winner of the Research Group of the Year award. Check these papers out – they give one hope for the future.

● The Phoenix Rising Research Group of the Year

● The Research Paper of the Year and the Top Ten

A new edition of the newsletter will be coming up soon as well as an end of year edition focusing on ME/CFS stories.

Yours truly,

Cort
