An American site, fightingfatigue.org looks to have loads of info. Try the Articles tab -- this woman has been working really hard to gather dataon sufferers' behalf. Are they more clued-up about CFS in the States?
I particularly recommend the article called The Psychological Component of CFS -- three cheers for someone who doesn't think this is all about depression! As soon as my doctor heard about my history/family history of (mild-to-moderate) depression, it was like a reflex: here, have some antidepressants. I'm not depressed at the moment; believe me, I'd know if I were! Moreover, I've had depression on and off for years, typically when life isn't going too brilliantly (like when I was working for the boss from hell), and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with causing this CFS. Life's good just now, and I've many blessings to pore over and polish; it's just that the view from bed is getting a little familiar ...
Not sure about the acronym CFIDS though. Made me think of John Wyndham.
