RE: Re: I'm a Newbie! - Lyme SSDI/Darlene

[Guest guest]

Thank you for the repsonse Darlene. I agree with you and as well and am in

the process of finding a new doc:) As for CFIDS, it stands for " Chronic Fatigue

and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome " . It has many overlapping symptoms of FM. I was

diagnosed with CFIDS in 1990 and then in 1992 I was diagnosed with Fibro.
