A CFS Sufferer asks...

Posted by N2Happy on 03 Sep 2010 at 18:10 GMT

I am a sufferer of CFS since 1987. Few doctors believed that it was an actual malady in the beginning and I was usually treated for depression. One doctor gave me monthly injections of B12 and cortisone which always brought relief for a few days. I'm not sure how this relates to the article but it sounds promising. Who is getting this treatment if anyone, and how can one enroll in a clinical study?
