Thank you for letting me know your contact info. I will add it to my list. It would be great if you would volunteer as an expert on the subject here on All Experts. I don't get that many questions about CFIDS (they're probably too tired to type.), but I am limited in what I can tell people since I am just a retired Paramedic and not a doctor.
As long as I have your attention....the CFIDS patients you're treating....could they be considered success stories? If so....what methods of treatments are you using? My M.D. doesn't have a clue about the illness and isn't very creative.

Expertise
I was diagnosed (finally) with CFIDS (Chronic Fatigue Immune Disfunction Syndrome) in 1993. I am currently in "remission" (for whatever that`s worth). I have experienced the full range of emotions that go along with this disease and will be glad to "listen" to anyone who needs to vent their fears, confusion, frustrations, anger...(it helps). I can share what worked for me and what others have shared that worked for them. I can steer you in directions of help (ie: Social Security Disability claims, natural remedies, support groups, etc.). You are not alone.
Experience
Since my diagnosis, I have done a lot of research on the illness. I started the first support group in my area and organized "training" for physicians, nurses and care givers who believed in this disease and wanted to treat their patients that suffered . (It helped that I had been a Paramedic for 10 years before getting sick and had some medical knowledge.)
