Cause of Post Infective Fatigue (IE CFS) unraveling. Part I!

[Guest guest]

And I was down on mitochondrial dysfunction. This really fantastic

paper by Suzanne Vernon at the CDC indicates that the gene

expression in people who get EBV (mononucleosis) and then develop

post-infective fatigue differs from those who recover and many of

those differences occur in the mitochondria.

Thats a model for everyone whose CFS started with an infectious

event. Its also a slap in the face to those who posited that those

patients just had poor coping skills.

This is one of a series of really great studies the CDC is doing.

They are following cohorts of people who come down with different

infections and seeing what changes in them over time as some come

down with CFS and some dont.

It demonstrates what a turnaround the CDC has had. Nobody else is

doing this kind of stuff.
