Since i got ill last year its been a hellish ride of getting nowhere fast to get diagnosed.
Now, ive had all your very basic blood tests, all clear, and so do many other people.
Ive had clear x-rays and a clear CT scan, again, just like many others.
Having done so extensive reading on this illness, it would seem quite clear that the cause is viral.
Now, not only do ME sufferers deserve to know if the cause is a retro-virus, but so do all we come into contact with.
The thought i could pass this on to my family and loved one's enrages me.
Given the UK govenments decision not to allow anyone ever diagnosed with ME/CFS (even those in permanent remission) from donating blood,
if thats not a clear sign that the govenment know this illness is possibly contagious
via bodily fluids, then i dont know what it.
So why i ask, are we letting them get away with funding cognative therapy and other useless things in the face of a retro virus.
Im not even saying it definately IS XMRV, but if we are infectious, its certainly some kind of transmitted viral infection, and the govenment owes it to us all to fund bio-chemical research and stop the spread of this devistating illness
