PHOENIX RISING

TREATING CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME

Bringing Opportunity to ME/CFS Patients

Many ME/CFS websites offer some information on treatment. Phoenix Rising is the only webpage to offer a (more or less) comprehensive approach to ME/CFS treatment. These treatment pages have been built by scouring the print media and internet for treatment advice by ME/CFS physicians. Virtually every reputable source that I could find was used in building it. As such  this website represents the broadest based effort on the web to attempt to uncover the many different treatment options available for ME/CFS patients. The resources used in building this site are listed below.
