Phillis--Have you seen the movie, "Forgotten Plague?" It's a documentary on ME/CFS and has a segment about Dr. Davis and his son, Whitney. It's an excellent film, but the segment on Whitney is heartbreaking.

I haven't even heard of it, Jackie. I'll check it out on Amazon and see if I can rent a copy. Thanks for the info.

To clarify, is this to find a diagnostic tool or is it to seek a cure as from the responses it looks like others see it as cure and may have more Info than your initial post?

Hi There again Patrickgeoffrey,
Thankyou. I looked at the link and couldn't see anything about the triggers. Here in the UK the ME association link other trauma as well as CFS/ME being triggered by a virus. MIne is from a car crash where I was injured and I've been the same as I am now ever since. I thoroughly believe that the body is trying to protect us-as you say above in a kind of hibernation. It is an amazing condition, although completely unwanted by us all on here ! Mine I feel is an auto immune reaction to my near death experience. I know of others who have got this after surgery, childbirth, pregnancy... It's like the body wrongly over protects some of us.
It is exciting times for us and gives hope of relieve from this frustrating ,dibilitating condition.

To think, this is happening in my hometown of San Diego and I knew nothing of it.
