Some interesting CFS news, stolen from another blogger ;-)

Virus Linked to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Hmm. I wonder if you can ask to be tested for this retrovirus in your everyday LAbcorp? I'm headed there on Monday for my final round of lupus testing (though I'm pretty sure it will be negative-- I'm like 90% convinved I have CFIDS and my doctors are just being really thorough).

They also suggest antiviral drugs as treatment, similar to what HIV-patients would take. I'm an English-major, so excuse me for any gaps in the science, but it sounds like an interesting proposition. Think they'll have them out in time for me to go back for Wake's spring semester? *fingers crossed*
