I thought I would pass this along for all those people who were diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue before being diagnosed with lyme (and for all those who are interested in CFIDS). They used a really unique and interesting approach to the research.

Well, I guess a genetic explanation is better for those people than being told they are just lazy and inventing symptoms.

However, these gene explanations of disease have so far not been very convincing, tend not to be reproduced by others.

It just seems that if it isn't genetic or autoimmune, the researchers have no idea what else it could be. These explanations seem faddish.
