ME/CFS
I am really sorry to report that there are no supports in the Yukon directed at ME/CFS & Long Covid right now. Here are some sites that I found invaluable while navigating my illness.
Remember that you can always reach other ME/CFS LC suffers on the Not So Ordinary Facebook Group.
Health Rising
What: Health Rising is dedicated to providing timely, accurate information to people with chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) and fibromyalgia.
I visit this site when ever I am frustrated by the lack of care available to us. I come here to see all the effort that is being put into learning more about this horrid illness and develop enough hope to keep going.

Click HERE for the Clinical Protocols and medication handout that your doctor may be willing to follow.
