Chronic Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome
(CFIDS), known for 40 years in the U.K. by the name
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E.), and also sometimes
called Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). I have been
diagnosed with CFIDS/M.E. since December 1994;
<br><br>today I would probably call the variety from which I
suffer R.E.D.D., for Rnase-L Enzyme Dysfunction Disease.
Essays I have written about the disease, and my
experiences with the disease, can be found at "Living Life,
Living Death: Essays on CFIDS/M.E.". I am currently
working on a book manuscript of the same title.
<br><br>This website is undergoing a number of changes. I
still own the domain, cfids-me.org, but I've had to
shift its storage location and that's taken a couple of
weeks to accomplish; I'm also going to change the
contents a bit because I haven't had time to work on it
for a while. Please be patient, and I'm sorry for any
inconvenience this has caused anyone. <br><br>If you have the
DD (d--- disease, as we sometimes call it - insert
your own adjective ...), and/or one of the sister
illnesses Fibromyalgia, Multiple Chemical Sensitivies
(MCS), Gulf War Syndrome (GWS), or Post-Polio Syndrome
(PPS).
