CFS Success Story - Misc. Links

Proactiv Solution
I just HAD to include this link. There's one thing I forgot to mention about my recovery.
When I got CFS I also got severe acne.
Proactiv was the only product I found that got rid of my acne.
You can get Proactiv from this website!

Green Marketplace.com

Reporting a Complaint about a Health Care Organization
To the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO).
It's no secret that many, many CFS sufferers are ill-treated (no pun intended) by healthcare
workers. If this has happened to you and you want to report it this is the site to go to.
The page you will link to is part of the Healthfinder.gov website.
Healthfinder is a health & human services information website from the U.S. government.

Reporting a Complaint about a Doctor
(this is not a link)
To report a complaint against an individual doctor in private practice you should first contact your state's Department of Health. Ask for the address and phone number for your state's Office of Professional Discipline, Office of Professional Medical Conduct, or similar department.

PLEASE CONTACT ME AND LET ME KNOW IF ANY OF THESE LINKS WERE OF ANY HELP TO YOU OR IF YOU KNOW OF A GOOD LINK OR EVEN A PLACE TO WRITE OR CALL WILL DO NICELY.
THANKS. I'LL KEEP LOOKING TOO.

CFS stands for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or Chronic Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome. It is felt there is a problem with the immune system. Some doctors feel it is all in your head. But this is not the truth. There really is a lot of pain. Some people think they have Lymes or Lyme Disease (sometimes misspelled Lime Disease). Some people are diagnosed with a diagnosis of MS (Multiple Sclerosis) and some are told they have arthritis. There is no cure, but there is help. There is treatment. There is self-help. This is a real illness. It is physical and emotional. There are relationship problems and financial problems. There are real symptoms. Some people think it's associated with AIDS. Some think it's a virus. Some think it is caused by stress. Some think it's psychological or psychosomatic. Patients are often treated poorly. I know. There is often depression associated with CFS. That's why I've included Doctor Jokes and Lawyer Jokes. You can apply for SSD or Disability Benefits if you have CFS. You get this from the Social Security Administration. There are groups that offer alternative treatments. CFS, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Chronic Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome, AIDS, Lyme Disease, Immune System, MS, Multiple Sclerosis -some people think these may all be related in some way. Diagnosis is difficult. Self-help is available. A cure for this illness is not. Treatment for your symptoms depends on your relationships with your doctors and lawyers. Jokes help relieve tension. CFS may be a virus. Some say it's psychological or psychosomatic or related to arthritis or emotional upset. It can ruin your financial situation. You can get help for depression. You can qualify for SSD (Social Security Disability) by contacting the Social Security Administration. Alternative treatments may be the best way to deal with CFS.
