Thanks Al,

I hope Dr Berg is correct about this. My feeling is

that there is a brain inflammation issue. People with

congenitally small backs to their skulls or any sort

of cervical spine injury are more likely to become

symptomatic. In the UK a few years back there were

moves to change the name myalgic encephalomyelitis to

myalgic encephalopathy because they couldn't find

evidence of CNS inflammation.

Actually (in my naive hopeful pursuit of a simplistic model....) brain inflamation is not an unreasonable symptom from a CWD infection located in the brain tissue... if there is an inflamation that results in spinal code pressure, then this (like treating hypercoagulation) is a very appropriate symtpomatic treatment.... the key question is whether the recovery will persist for 5 -20 years. This model would suggest a very good improvement of these patients initially with a percentage returning to CFIDS following a gradual onset scenario... (others will fully recover, because the body is less stressed and thus able to re-establish its own defenses)
