Please, I have CFS, I KNOW it's for real, and I posted this as one more of the studies that keep trying to let the doubting thomas' know about the reality of it. I have heard it said that we suffer as badly as a patient who is in the last month or month and a half of full blown AIDS. That's quite a statistic, IMHO.
Sadly the Brits have just published a study pushing cbt (cognitive behavioral therapy) as the "cure". The theory on that in the CFS community is that they are trying to save money by not treating CFS/ME as a physical disease. If you are interested in patient info check this website:

They are a non-profit organization that has funded a ton of current research projects that are beginning to bear fruit, finally. I support them financially whenever I can and usually ask my donations be directed to research.
And thanks for the info on LDN. I'll ask my infectious disease doc about it.
