Glad to have you aboard May I ask how you found the forum? I'm still trying to put word around and you're the first person to show an interest that I haven't contacted directly.

Hi, I live in Sydney but heard about this forum from the ME/CFS NSW assoc. It sounds great - hope non-chrysalis members are allowed

Actually this board was set up specifically to attract new members so you are very welcome. Lately most people have either been too sick to make it to meetings* or too healthy to need them. This way we can communicate regularly regardless of distance, ill health, unpredictable sleeping patterns and that thing on TV I really wanted to watch. I have been trying to get this page listed on as many cfs websites as possible especially those that already have older contact details for us. *The term meeting apparently has negative connotations and I have been instructed to substitute the word "shindig" no seriously

Hi My Name is Melissa, i'm from Victoria. I recieved info about this from the CFS Society in Victoria, our message board isn't in order @ the moment. It's my first time doing anything like this, hope i'm doing is correctly. Well hi everybody. I feel that this will be great for all CFS/ME sufferers, having such good support like this, from people who live with this illness everyday. Well i'll keep in touch

Hi I found the forum thru CoCure which provides info on CFS etc thru email. I am trying to discover what ails my son (20yrs old). Doctors have diagnosed everything from Rickettsia to Anxiety. He exhibits most of the symptoms of CFS but doctors here (South Africa) by and large don't recognise CFS. I have registered here to learn about CFS (and help if I can)

Getting diagnosed with cfs usualy involves eliminating every other disease known to man, it can take as long as two years and the period of not knowing is the worst, even finding out that you have some horrible illness can come as a relief because then you can start doing something about it.

I ran a search for good doctors in south africa as you said fairly slim pickings but this might be of some use, I'll keep looking. www.co-cure.org/ZA_ALL.htm

Thanks. CoCure is where I found your website. I am looking for a Dr Mike Schoeman who practiced in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa and moved to Australia. He is a specialist physician and treated a patient I know. Does someone know of a register of medics in Oz?

I ran a web search on that name and found this website www.health.qld.gov.au/wwwprofiles/rocky_rocky_hosp.aspwhere Dr Michael Schoeman is listed as Director of Medicine at a hospital in Queensland, I have no idea if it's the same guy but it seems a fair bet. I hope this helps.
