Fully agree with the article. My CFS is ten years in after getting glandular fever. My illness is without doubt a physical illness and nothing to do with depression or mental problem or lazyness. The XMRV possible explanation feels very reasonable. For the first time I feel it is reasonable to have hope. I am feeling that there is a 50% chance that a CFS diagnostic test maybe be accessable within 1 year. This would be a very welcome first step (even though I already know I have CFS.) If treatment drugs become available in 5 years, then I would settle for that right now.
