On Wednesday, April 14th, (2:00 p.m. EST) the CFIDS Association will host their next webinar on Defining CFS: Diagnostic Criteria & Case Definition. Here is info. on the upcoming webinar from the registration page:

In the absence of biomarker that can be reliably used to diagnose CFS, research on and care of people with CFS rely on how the illness is defined. Dr. Leonard A. Jason of DePaul University has been engaged in several of the efforts to craft meaningful definitions for CFS. He will discuss the various CFS case definitions, how they impact research and care, and how the definitions might be improved to better serve researchers, clinicians, and patients
