Guide to The CFS in Youth Home Page

  • What is CFIDS? and What is CFIDS in Youth? introduce chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and its impact on children and adolescents.

  • Our Articles & Info section answers questions about the diagnosis and management of adolescent chronic fatigue syndrome; educational testing and accommodations; disability law; support and fun for kids with CFS; understanding for siblings; parenting a child with a disability; youth advocacy; and more. It also includes numerous essays by teens with CFS, allowing youth to see that they are not alone in this experience.

  • The Other Resources section lists online support groups for kids and parents, web sites of interest, pediatric CFS books and newsletters, resources for education and legal information, and other resources of interest to children, teenagers, and college students with CFS.

  • The site index of the CFS in Youth Home Page includes just about every article on adolescent CFS that The CFIDS Association of America has ever published. If you're looking for an essay, commentary, or article, we just might have it!

  • The CFIDS Association of America's Home Page is the web site of our parent organization, and is the place to go for research, advocacy, and media news.
