    Please Note:

    Phoenix Rising forums are primarily for patients with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS). Caregivers, researchers, physicians, and other medical professionals are welcome to join as long as you plan to post about ME/CFS.

    If you are a researcher looking for study participants, please contact a Moderator prior to posting on the forums.

    Members of the general public who join to post about health issues that are unrelated to ME/CFS will not have their posts accepted and will be asked to find a more appropriate website to ask questions and/or post information. This keeps our forums focused on ME/CFS.

    Please make sure you read our Forum Rules and Forum Guidelines after joining and prior to posting and make sure to introduce yourself in the Introduce Yourself forum.
