Newsflash!

Great articles in the Wall Street Journal on CFS:

Apparently there is also an article in the NYT on the definition of CFS but you have to log in to read it so I haven't seen it.  I refuse to sign in to read news articles.  Here is the link if you want to take a look:

Addendum: Here is a working link to the NYT article: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/08/health/research/08fatigue.html?_r=4&hpw

I just found a great Wiki site on XMRV
http://www.mecfsforums.com/wiki/Main_Page
tons of information burried on this site.  Great list of papers.  The case definitions need a bit of work.  Don't forget this is a Wiki site so the accuracy of the information isn't guaranteed.

This talk on XMRV was just given last weekend during the conference on retroviruses in Boston:
