I think this is huge news. Not to get anyone's hopes up, but it's very promising, it seems to me. Thanks for posting (and to ruggedtoast for posting in the other thread). There are about 300 articles on this listed on Google news.

I am absolutely amazed that there has been no response at all on this forum regarding this stunning news.

It has generated dozens and dozens of comments from CFS sufferers in the NY Times, where two specialists have answered questions from readers. And it has been in dozens of newspapers.

Now I know why the psychiatric lobby say we maintain false illness beliefs and don’t want to get well.


The people in this group are not remotely interested in the possible cause XMRV nor I must presume a possible cure.

Hi there, I usually post on the Fibromyalgia forum, but wanted to say thanks for the article; I just saw this tonight and it's completely fascinating. I have really severe fatigue in a fibromyalgia flare right now, and have been looking for ways to manage so drop by this forum now and again.

Wow Valia.. that is judging A LOT of people!
The people on this forum have heard of a lot of reasons over the years of why we have CFS. Do you not think we might be holding off cheering until more comes out about it? There could be tons of different reasons. Please do not judge others.

Myself, I have not posted on it for tons of reasons.. I do not want to give myself false hope. Am I watching everything I can about it, OF COURSE!!! Am I hoping like crazy that they can find a cure, OF COURSE! Do I have to chat about it, NO, I don't.

So please, If you have something negative to say, keep it to yourself!

Have a great day everyone!

I agree shiffs... I have been suffering from this disorder since I've been fifteen years old. I've been hospitalized more than 8 times for my immune system being compromised because of this disease. It is real and it affects millions of people... Including me, on a daily basis. You should read and understand the causes and effects of this illness before you start talking about it.

I will be getting tested for this virus as soon as the kit arrives. my doc says this is going to be huge for us!

the lab said medicare should cover the cost.

i will keep you posted.

by the way I usually post in chronic pain and lyme forums, but have CFS/FM as well.


hope you all have a good day.
