Since Sleepydust was founded in August 2003, many ME, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Post Viral Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia sufferers have contacted me with various questions and concerns. After a while, I was able to pinpoint the most frequently asked questions and put a (long) page together, answering them all.

So much more information has become available on Sleepydust since it's launch, that the FAQ page was in definite need of updating and 'revamping'. So here is the newly polished and updated FAQ page for you!

You can check out the updated FAQ page here!
