Curious about role of "allergies" in the etiology of CFS as others have discussed as well. In my case, was triggered by dental work to which i had immune reactions. following local reactions of hives, i developed increased basophils, though they were fleeting and not enormously high. Still, i think this reflected my immune over activation. Basophils not as well understood or talked about as eisonophils.
