Abstract: PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate how social support and healthcare support affect the quality of life of persons with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. METHOD: A constant comparison method was used for the qualitative portion of the research and descriptive correlational methods were used for the quantitative portion. CONCLUSION: This mixed design research study suggested that social support, unlike healthcare support, is related to Quality of Life (QOL). It was also evident that subjects suffering from CFS and/or FMS do not experience high levels of social support.
