There are many sites maintained by people who have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.   As just a very small sample of pages by young people with CFS, go to Nicole Foster's homepage, and Gossamer's Site.  Both these pages contain many links to other CFS sites.  Gossamer's Open Letter to Normals is pretty interesting, too.

For complete information on subscribing to mailing lists for young people and for adults, and for finding people with CFS on IRC, use this page from Nicole's site.

David Hall, MD, a practicing physician who himself has CFS, maintains a Chronic Fatigue Syndrome site.  It is clearly written in non-technical language.  I recommend it.

David Axford maintains a site specializing in research and resource information.

The CFIDS Association of America ( TCAA ) is the largest and most influential support organization in the United States. It can provide a lot of information online, and much more can be ordered by mail.

M.E. Web. This is the most comprehensive and up-to-data web page on CFS/ME. "ME" is myalgic encephalomyelitis, the British name for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. The layout is pretty unfriendly but if you want to dig, you'll find it.

Listening to CFIDS has a lot of information but its strongest point are many articles on the experience of the illness written by PWC (Persons With CFIDS).
