Research/study

[Guest guest]

I just read Patty's post about the research/ study. That was good

advice. I would definately find out WHO funds the study, and what is

going to be done with the study. Make sure you do not have to shell

out money!! I was involved with a CFS study a while back. I was

really disappointed in it. Because they promised me that they would

give me FREE bloodwork, and tests. They were claiming 'this study

will help CFS patients'. BUT when I got there, they said I had to go

to MY Dr. and requests the tests/bloodwork. So I did. During the

study, I found out that it was funded by the State. Also, this study

was just to see how 'Stress effects CFS'. I dont' think it would

have taken all that money 'funded by the State to figure that one

out'!! Also, the man doing the study, his name rang a bell to me.

Then I realized I had a book of his at home called 'Coping with

CFS'. This book also had statistics in it! HHHHHMMMMMMMM, was he

benefiting himself, to write another book??? VERY SHADY. I was very

disappointed. I did not want to do the study, but my boyfriend made

me..LOL. He said I am always complaining about how they never do

research!! Well, after I found out the facts, I was still

complaining! Just a thought. hugs and health. TERRY/dimonds
