This could lead to a diagnostic test for CFS that the insurance companies and the shrinks at the CDC and the UK won't be able to shrug off as just being “in the head” of the person with CFS.

I suspect that for CFS, this might be caused by XMRV virus. Post-lyme folks are reported to test positive for XMRV at high rates, too, IIRC.
