"My research examines the health issues of ME/CFS and the interactions with society. Phases I and II of the research involved 20 interviews.  These are now complete and are being transcribed and coded.   In about  It is envisaged that this stage will be completed and put through ethics in November/December.   Once complete, Phase III will involve a questionnaire will bring together the experiences of those in the first two phases (and literature) and it will obtain an Australian perspective of the condition.  This will involved 250 plus participants from throughout Australia (and I am after about 220 more from every state, rural and city, all age groups).   It is intended that a website will be created to gather information. For those unable to use the site, I will be posting or Emailing such questionnaires.   The goal is to produce a geographically diverse picture from throughout Australia.    The goal of the research is to better understand the Australian experience of ME/CFS and compare it to the literature on the subject. The second goal of the research is to examine the interaction of people who have ME/CFS with Social Institutions."
