Hi all,
I have had ME/CFS for about 4 years now. It is starting to get under control (as well as it can every be!) and am trying to to undertake psychology honours as well. As I have a direct interest in ME/CFS research I decided to undertake my thesis research on ME/CFS. My thesis is due in in 9 weeks and I am still about 30 participants short of having enough data to find anything significant in the results. To be able to analyse and write up the results I desperately need many more participants in the next two weeks.
If you are feeling compassionate and interested in participating in my research I would really appreciate it. Participation is all online - I will send you the URL and login password for an online survey which will take about 15-20 minutes to complete (most people who have done it so far have completed it in 10 minutes). The survey will ask you about your fatigue and other CFS symptoms, and about your mood and health, as well as a little bit of general information about yourself. I will then ask you to fill out the same survey again in 3 weeks time so I can see how symptoms and so on change over time.
If you have some spare time, I would really appreciate your help. Please email me at sarah.flint@anu.edu.au.
Thanks very much!
