XMRV...the New retrovirus

[Want to feel well!!!]

Has anyone gathered any information on the new retrovirus believed to cause CFS?  Has anyone been tested?

I am just beginning to look into it because I find it fascinating that now, after all these years of telling so many of these  people (mostly women) that is is all their heads, that what they actually have is a RETROVIRUS.  And, it is a blood born pathogen, so it is spreading.  Interesting, eh?

I think this breakthrough is only the tip of the iceberg but hopefully this will help many sufferers get some REAL help and not just a pat on the knee and and antidepressant.  I just met a woman 3 days ago who has been through many doctors until she found one who understood her situation.  I was angry for her!  There are too many stories out there :o(

Hope you are all having a great day...for those of you in the cold climates, stay warm as I am trying to do!

Thanks for bringing this to the group.

Here is an article about it.

I think we will find that all these illnesses will be linked in some way one day I cant imagine why 3 illness for example:

M.E.
Fibro
M.S.

Should have virtually every single symptom the same.

I live in hope one day that someone will just stumble on the truth. We are getting there slowly even to the liberation treatment which is exciting in itself.
