It just makes my day to check my e-mail and find exciting new breakthroughs in CFIDS research!
They've identified a new virus that may be behind CFS. As a bonus, they think it's also the cause of MS, so CFS is linked to a "real", well-known disease in the news report.
Check it out:
Potential Animal (Zoonotic) Virus Identified in Patients with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Multiple Sclerosis and Epilepsy
I have had Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) since March 2002. Both of my sons also got ME/CFS at ages 6 and 10. Our younger son fully recovered after 10 years of mild illness. Our older son still has ME/CFS and also has Lyme disease plus two other tick infections. This blog is about how our family lives with chronic illness, with a focus on improving our conditions and enjoying our lives in spite of these challenges.

I read that recently too..and we keep hoping. Sorry to see that your son also has cfs. Both my husband and I have cfs,fm and mcs and one of my sons came down with it when he was 15. It's tough to be young and sick. Heck it's tough to be old and sick like this!
