CFS contact group

The CFS contact group is a neutral association for CFS and fibromyalgia patients. Through its member magazine and monthly activities (lectures by professionals on a wide range of subjects, meetings with fellow sufferers or relaxing activities), it endeavours to free people from their isolation. It assists them in their search for reliable information, not only on a medical level but also on a social and emotional level. It strives for greater recognition and understanding of the suffering of this hidden group of patients. More information can be found at www.cvscontactgroep.be.
