About 75% of our cases involve Clients diagnosed with Fibromyalgia or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS/CFIDS). We care and we can help. We plan to expand this page and include a frequently updated medical bibliography. For now, contact us by phone, fax, or email for more information.

For more information you can read a presentation given by Steve Krafchick on the subject. It is available in pdf format. You will need Acrobat Reader to read the document. If you have trouble with the PDF files try 'right-clicking' on the file and select to send it to the printer. You may also download the presentation in Word 6/95 format.
