I learned about a CFS genetic research study at the University of Illinois at Chicago through Sue Jackson's blog. This is one of the studies I mentioned in yesterday's post.
I contacted the research assistant Caitlin Smith at cksmith@uic.edu to volunteer for the study. If you prefer the phone, you can call 312-339-5257.
I don't know if I'll be accepted, but it's worth trying!
Today's Activities: home. Today's Most Annoying Symptoms: exhaustion, mild headache, pain in neck lymph nodes; active eczema on left and right underarms, left hand, and right ankle.
Mood (10 is best): 6 Energy (10 is best): 2 Physical Discomfort (10 is worst): 5
