There's more and more research pointing to the HPA axis, flight/fight system break down in both ME and Fibromyalgia.
Even the work of Myhill and others on mito dysfunction seems to point at stressers - physical and/or emotional that can at least play a role in how sick we get even if it's not a route cause.

There's a few things knocking about in my foggy head which I'll try and write about - but right now I can't put it together.
