[[File:Deborah Waroff.png|200px|thumb|right|Source:ME/CFS Alert]] '''Deborah Waroff''' co-hosts [[ME/CFS Alert]], a YouTube channel, with [[Llewellyn King]].<ref>https://www.youtube.com/user/MECFSAlert</ref> She has a bachelors degree with honors in architectural sciences from Harvard College and an MBA degree with honors in finance and international business from New York University.<ref>http://www.hhs.gov/advcomcfs/meetings/presentations/waroff_1009.pdf</ref> Presently, she is a retired Wall Street energy analyst and an advocate for better treatments and increased government funding for [[ME/CFS]].<ref>http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2016/11/nih-double-funding-chronic-fatigue-syndrome-patient-distrust-remains</ref> In July, 1989, she became sick with [[myalgic encephalomyelitis]]/[[chronic fatigue syndrome]] (ME/CFS) following a [[flu-like illness]]. She has had several partial remissions and relapses. One partial remission was for nine months following a round of tetracycline in 1990. Another partial remission was from 1992 to 2003, which she credits to a combination of pharmaceuticals, including [[amantadine]], [[thyroid hormone]]s, [[Pemoline]], and [[Wellbutrin]]. In September, 2003, she relapsed to being bedbound. In 2005, she started IV [[ozone]] treatments, which would improve her health, but every time she stopped, she would relapse. She has urged the [[Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Advisory Committee]] for the [[U.S. Department of Health and Human Services]] to investigate IV [[ozone]] therapy.<ref>http://www.hhs.gov/advcomcfs/meetings/presentations/waroff_1009.pdf</ref> ==Talks and interviews== *2012, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvsmtS9QcWk Episode 37 - Deborah Waroff's testimony at Oct 2012 CFSAC meeting] *2012, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9xHcjf58VE Episode 35 - ME/CFS Alert - Patient Perspectives - Deborah Waroff] *2014, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SJH0Kcd8uA Episode 71 - Deborah Waroff Speaks Out] ==HHS/CFSAC Testimony== * [http://www.hhs.gov/advcomcfs/meetings/presentations/2015-08-public-comment-waroff.html CFSAC August 2015 Public Comment] * [http://www.hhs.gov/advcomcfs/recommendations/2015-01-public-comment-debra-waroff.pdf CFSAC January 2015 Public Testimony] * [http://www.hhs.gov/advcomcfs/meetings/presentations/waroff_1009.pdf CFSAC October 30, 2009 Public Testimony] ==Presence Online== *[https://twitter.com/deborahwaroff Twitter] *[https://www.youtube.com/user/MECFSAlert ME/CFS Alert Channel on youtube] ==Learn more== *Nov 10, 2016, [http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2016/11/nih-double-funding-chronic-fatigue-syndrome-patient-distrust-remains NIH to double funding for chronic fatigue syndrome, but patient distrust remains] ==See also== *[[Llewellyn King]] *[[ME/CFS Alert]] ==References== {{Reflist}} [[Category:People with ME, CFS, and/or FMS]] [[Category:Advocates or allies]] [[Category:American advocates or allies]]
