Disorder, which will conduct groundbreaking research and treat
patients suffering from CFS. The Center for Neuro Immune Disorders
will use the integration of research, training, and clinical care to
advance the needs of patients suffering from CFS. By bringing
together some of the best scientific minds in the world, the center
will act as both a think tank and a working institute for the
research, train new clinicians, and provide diagnostic and therapeutic
clinical care.
She is also a leading national researcher on Gulf War Syndrome. This
medical condition affects veterans and civilians who were exposed to
chemical weapons during the 1991 Gulf War. Symptoms include
musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, skin rashes, cognitive problems, and
