FDA ... ME/CFS due to link to XMRV

WTF does it all MEAN?

[LSAggie]

When I gave blood six weeks ago, the blood center was advising/telling people with CFS not to donate blood.

[Marie Antoinette]

How do you know if you have CFS? It was my understanding that there isn’t a *test* for this, has that changed?

[exDemMom]

Interesting.

I haven’t donated blood in years because I lived in Europe, and apparently, there is too much of a risk that I will spread mad cow disease.

Have there been cases of CFS developing following a transfusion, and it was found that the donor has CFS? This article really doesn’t give many details.
