Since our founding in 1987, The CFIDS Association of America has been a source of information, empowerment and hope for countless men, women and children whose lives have been touched by CFIDS. Below, Association friends share their thoughts about The CFIDS Association and our programs.

"The CFIDS Association is my lifeline. I simply don't know what I would do without it."

--CFIDS patient interviewed by independent counsel

"I have been a C-ACT advocate for several years. C-ACT and The CFIDS Association have been my lifeline and virtually the only support system I now have. "

--C.I., Canton, New York

"I bless that day I discovered and joined The CFIDS Association of America. Each Chronicle that came offered such enlightenment and hope! I cried tears of joy with every issue I read the first few years."

--L.P., Lake Mary, Florida

"The CFIDS Association's new medical newsletter is thoughtful, readable, and concise. It will have a strong impact on many members of the health care profession, especially primary health providers. This newsletter is one crucial step toward legitimizing CFIDS."

--D.K, Iowa City, Iowa

"Thank you for this webpage. It gives me hope! I check it every day. Thanks again."

--B.C., Dallas, Texas

"If it had not been for the Association's publications, along with their extraordinary efforts on behalf of their members, I do not believe I would have the courage or strength to maintain my hope and dignity of human spirit. Your assistance has proved to be my lifeline in accessing pertinent data, research, and information resources."

--E.J.C., Salt Lake City, Utah

"A friend of my mother's is a member of the Association and sent me information about the organization. Reading some of your literature made me realize that someone out there knew how I felt. I was no longer alone."

--T.S., Buffalo Grove, Illinois

With the support of the Association and my fellow PWCs, I have the strength to keep battling for my health and my life."

 --Anonymous CFIDS patient

"I wanted to pass along to you my congratulations on the new "Research Review" and commend you on a wonderful new addition to the Association's educational materials. As a CSN (CFIDS Support Network) contact and 15-year veteran of this complex and frustrating illness, I thank you for providing us with this new tool. "

--N.H., Charlotte, NC

"My heartfelt thanks for your determination to help those of us who can't leave home to fight for ourselves."
