FMS, CFS & FM Good Doctor List - “a collection
of listings, of doctors who have been recommended by and for
CFS/CFIDS/FM patients. The physicians are listed on separate
pages by country and state/province/region and, within each
page, by city”. (FYI - I had an MD from this list who
was not good physician, but that was just one experience,
and if they yell at me for writing this, okay).

The
best CoQ-10 I have found from about 8 years of use is made
by TwinLabs. Yes, it costs more, but it works better. It is
light sensitive, if you buy CoQ-10 in a bottle that isn’t
brown, don’t buy it.
