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.
