hello. exactly. XMRV is crossXtime Mismanagement of Recreational Visits, which we have none. play video games. walk on the beach, or in the woods. take a break. the flowers only smell so sweet when you breathe them in. the whole world needs more faith in mankind so we can all guiltlessly relax for awhile.

CFS = working daily for 40 years.

I have CFS/ME (ME is the name in England and being adopted here because chronic fatigue syndrome as a choice of name for the illness was a political decision).
 
  CFS is a rotten name because it’s not about fatigue. A bibliographer with a CFS group once said, CFS is to fatigue, what a stick of dynamite is to a birthday candle.  I need to use a wheelchair to exit my home.  CFS/ME is permanent flu, of a kind.  It seems located in the brain (=cognitive problems with intake, not outgo), and hits every body function area.

  Why did I say “political” decision to name it CFS in the US, not ME (myalgic encephalomyalitis) as in England, and yet different name in Japan?
It was once called “yuppie flu”.  If governments can “diss” an illness, they don’t have to pay benefits.  One major problem with CFS/ME, like Gulf War Syndrome (which has many similarities), is that there is not yet a blood test for the illness.

    I hope this research leads somewheres within my lifetime.  I would like to see a cause, like they found a cause of MS.

    See the great book on CFS as a political issue: “Osler’s Web” by Hillary Johnson, Crown Publishers, 1995.  There was a wonderful review of it in Publishers Weekly in Dec.1995.
