Hi,
I don't have a diagnosis as yet but my symptoms tally better with cfs/me than anything else I've found so far.
I'd like to get some more brain imaging (and/or testing) done because of longstanding disabling symptoms (brain fog et al - you know the ones) and some newer concerning symptoms (specifically bouts of limb numbness and paralysis).
I have a normal MRI.
Lassessen makes a pretty good argument for SPECT here:

though I've skipped reviewing the journal articles.
I've seen some mention of PET, EEG, and qEEG here and elsewhere.
So: Thoughts? Opinions? Journal articles? Lay it on me!
