This includes CFIDS (Chronic Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome), FMS
(Fibromyalgia), and related conditions. Much well-researched information is
from the CFIDS/M.E. Information Page from Mary Schweitzer, Ph.D., Assoc. Prof. of History,
Villanova University (on indefinite medical leave since January 1995 with
CFIDS/ME/FMS)
From Subjective
Symptom Disability Claims: CFS, FMS, and MCS
"Those of us in the CIND community (chronic immuno-neurologic disorders), which
include chronic fatigue syndrome (also called CFIDS or M.E.), fibromyalgia, multiple
chemical sensitivities syndrome, Gulf War syndrome, lupus, connective tissue disorders,
multiple sclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis, ask that our representatives in government,
and friends in society, step back from the legalism and ask this basic question: what has
happened to our society when a severely disabled person can be left abandoned and
impoverished, denied the benefits that were part of their pay while they were able to
work, because of the linguistic gamesmanship of the legal community? To paraphrase:
"Justice is the balm that heals the wounds of society." This is jurisprudence.
Is this justice? "
