New Public Service Announcement about CFS from CDC to Air on TV

I hope this finds you doing well, better, or at least as well as can be expected!

As a part of the Center for Disease Control's (CDC) Public Awareness Campaign they will be airing a TV spot on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and how it robs us of our lives. Hopefully people will come to see that we are genuinely afflicted with this horrible Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and be more understanding. More importantly, maybe the doctors out there that don't believe in CFS will start seeing that it is real and start trying harder to help their patients. On the CDC website, http://www.cdc.gov/cfs/awareness.htm , you can view the commercial as well as a brochure, booklet and various articles you can print off to show your doctor, or anyone close to you that may not fully understand but are interested in learning more about CFS. In the CFS Booklet, they discuss how CFS may be related to specific genes, virus', and other findings. They also have a great CFS toolkit with different articles relating to specific areas like managing activity, provider resource guide and diagnosing CFS to name a few. Go check it out at http://www.cdc.gov/cfs/awareness.htm .
