I haven't seen this on here yet - apologies if cross-posting.
I've just noticed that Invest in ME are planning research exploring antibodies that bind to the hypothalamus:

This would seem to make so much sense: it could explain so much, and bring together the autoimmune and HPA axis aspects of this disease very nicely indeed.

Invest in ME said:Autoimmunity and ME
HYPOTHALAMUS
Invest in ME are working with researchers, as part of the examinations facility proposal and to support the rituximab trial, on a more comprehensive and detailed analysis of antibodies binding the hypothalamus.
This is important as these are more likely to explain various ME symptoms.
This, along with a search for anti-cytokine antibodies, will form the first the part of work on autoimmunity in ME.
This project will take between 15 and 18 months with a further 3 months for data analysis and publication.
The funding of this research is via the Invest in ME Biomedical Research Fund.
