TBI would be screened for as part of the extensive differential diagnosis process that leads up to getting labeled with ME/CFS, a diagnosis of exclusion (of all others).

I have not seen TBI linked to ME/CFS. It is usually found to have been linked to a virus attack of some kind, usually mono (HHV-4) or a severe stress episode in life that the body didn’t completely recover from.

BTW, The head of my NOVA U. clinic, Dr. Nancy Klimas also happens to be the foremost national researcher of Gulf War Syndrome, which is closely related to ME/CFS with the exposure to various unknown chemical agents and the inflammatory effect on the body and the gut.

I dont care who she is :)

You DO know that MRIs are worthless for screening TBI’s in 90 percent of the cases right?

And I have a TBI and have many of the symptoms.

A closed mind is not good for research.
