New Publication to Help Raise Awareness

One of The CFIDS Association’s main goals is to increase public awareness of CFIDS, but most people don’t become interested or active in a medical condition unless they can imagine what it must be like to have it. The  Association’s new publication, Snapshots of CFIDS, attempts to do just that.

This 16-page publication presents the illness through seven compelling profiles of CFIDS patients and illustrates the impact it has had on their lives.

The profiles include men and women of all ages, races and socioeconomic levels to give readers a better understanding of the devastation this illness causes.

Snapshots will be used to educate legislators, the media and the public. Extra copies will be available for sale so that persons with CFIDS can use it in their own educational and advocacy efforts.

Association members will receive one free copy each in the mail later this year.
