If you have experienced Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis or Fibromyalgia you will possibly have noticed brain fog, lethargy and sometimes unending fatigue that does not always improve with sleep.

Here at Salus Fatigue Foundation we have worked with many people with fatigue as a result of CFS/ME or fibromyalgia and we can assist you along the way with your wellness journey.

This reads to me like a “health business” rather than a charity

The "wellness journey" line seals it.

Anyone confusing fatigue for ME can be safely ignored and told to go away and never come back.

What I don't understand is what these people can offer that isn't available on the internet?

I imagine what benefits users of this service the most is not any actual 'treatment', but rather having someone there who cares and can listen.

This lot - Salus Fatigue Foundation - appear to be responsible for getting this article printed. Talks about "holistic" and "recovery journey". Ugh, enough said. Not a recommendation.
