I really hope this is true that CFS has top priority status at the CDC. I remember in 1990 when I had been a yr. into this illness, Ampligen was the rage then. I really haven't heard so much about it of late. It comes and goes like the tide as a treatment option. I know it has helped people. I would love to hear CFS talked about more by way of the media. Unfortunately, they usually say some thing like, "CFS now has another possible treatment that may work such as eating dark chocolate or drinking salt in water." It trivializes this illness by saying that salt or chocolate would possibly make us well. That all of the complexities we experience can be helped that easily. Mind you, I do love salt and chocolate!

Im surprised its taken so long for real action to happen. When cfs was first discovered they had everyone quarantened!

I have heard of a lot of research actually. It being caused by the flu, epstem barr etc...mine was caused by those two things so they did something write.

I think cfs can be caused by a variety of things and by circumstance...like a lot of sicknes piled up over time (like me) which weakend my immune system.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
