The Phoenix
In many ancient cultures the Phoenix bird is a potent symbol of rebirth that is periodically reborn from the ashes of its own destruction. This website and now non-profit organization, created by a chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) patient, was born out of the hope that ME/CFS patients, too, will someday rise from the ashes of their often shattered lives and that the disease itself will emerge from the ash heap of recognition it now receives into the light of serious and sustained scientific endeavor.
Your donations and volunteer work make Phoenix Rising possible.

Cort, somebody, anyone, etc.,
I ‘ve been subscribed using my former email address–. As poor and overworked and appreciated Cort is I kept having trouble posting–my user id worked erratically.
While I shall still use that email address for ME/CFS material, perhaps changing this wondrous whatever to my more reliable address. It is . I really need as so many of us do the material provided here. It has kept me going and having gotten disabled with this monster in April 1980 and now getting an intransigent and slightly different type flare (more gut and brain stuff) I beg you to see that I get this regularly at my new address. Co-Cure is very important as well but I shall keep that coming to my old aol address. Many thanks though I will really thanks you when it happens.
Ignored and isolated by my colleagues in this crime (ME/CFS),

Best regards,
