“Other viruses, such as Epstein-Barr virus (), are also thought to trigger ME/CFS, although the mechanisms are equally complex.

Like other human herpes viruses, EBV can hide out in the body, evading the immune system for years until stress or some other illness reactivates the virus.”

“What's more, by the time a person develops ME/CFS and receives a formal diagnosis (if they do), they or their treating doctor might not make the connection between their illness and a previous viral infection.”

"(Contd.)—or sensing bright lights and loud sounds, regulating body temperature on hot days, or coping with stress. And if in fatigue your batteries feel drained, in PEM they’re missing entirely. It’s the annihilation of possibility.”

"They didn’t understand PEM. I was told if I didn’t try GET it meant I didn’t really want to get better. I was told it was impossible for exercise to harm. They told me how GET helped patients much sicker than me with MS, stroke & Parkinsons. If they could do it, why couldn’t you."

Response to this on the bird site:
"The head psych I had to see at my local hospital for CBT & GET had never ever read any scientific papers about ME outside the field of psychology. I found this out as I was asking how his statements fitted with the science I had read. GET ended up disabling me permanently (contd.)"

“Following chronic fatigue mechanisms to the source: WASF3 & mitochondrial respiration”

“(Contd) And for years I also found it hard to accept and understand her illness. I wanted her to try exercise programmes (then recommended as a treatment) and wondered what trauma had caused her condition. For too long I believed the medical orthodoxy, and that strained our family bond.“
