Children and Youth with CFIDS

Chronic fatigue and immune dysfunction syndrome (CFIDS), also known as chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), is widely recognized in adults. But it’s not as well known that children and adolescents can have CFIDS.  Check it out at http://www.cfids.org/youth/youth.asp.

A CFIDS of America guidebook was written by and for CFIDS youth.   The following information is taken from the guidebook.
