Hello everyone, recently I've been reading a lot of new/old threads on whether me/cfs is contagious or not. From what I can gather, this is up for debate as no one knows the exact answer. With that said, I am curious as to what the statistics are like for members that had a viral onset (i.e. acute) vs. non-viral onset (e.g. those listed by Senior Member HIP, http://forums.phoenixrising.me/index.php?threads/non-viral-cfs.32793/#post-506409) and how that plays a role in whether close genetic family members (e.g. parents and children) and close non-genetic family members (e.g. spouse, significant other or partner with an intimate relationship) also developed me/cfs or symptoms similar to it.
This poll by no means is meant to find a conclusion, it's just for personal curiosity. Hopefully this poll can also supplement the information found in threads like the ones linked below.
NOTE: Please make 1 OR 2 selections as it applies to you. If you choose "OTHER", it would be appreciated if you can answer the three questions indicated below in a posting within the thread.

For all those that voted, maybe also give some detail in your post on the following:
1) Gender
2) Summary of onset (e.g. viral vs. non viral vs. other)
3) Summary of close family members genetic/non-genetic that have developed me/cfs or similar symptoms
