Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), also known as chronic fatigue and immune dysfunction syndrome (CFIDS), myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) and by other names, is a complex and debilitating chronic illness that affects the brain and multiple body systems. On this portion of our website you can find detailed information about CFS, its symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, important research findings and how it affects the lives of those who live with it everyday.

Whether you are a person with CFS, a medical professional, a caregiver or just curious, we hope that the information you find here will improve your understanding of this devastating illness that affects more Americans than multiple sclerosis (MS), AIDS or lung cancer.

Program: 

Accelerate CFS Research Initiative

The CFIDS Association of America was founded in 1987 and has established itself as the leading organization dedicated to chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). It works towards its mission to make CFS widely understood, diagnosable, curable and preventable by stimulating research aimed at the early detection, objective diagnosis and effective treatment of CFS through expanded public, private and commercial investment.

The Association focuses its resources on advancing research, public policy and communications about CFS.
