That's brilliant - thanks for posting est_sunshine - it certainly ties in with my own abnormal test results (inc brain MRI) including the Neurologist's strong suspicion of MS, viral in origin too (EBV from weak anti-smooth muscle antibodies). Such similar processes going on.

Vit D3 is less certain in us, but there is strong evidence of EBV involvement, albeit in a variant way to most people. There is some chance that this model might apply to ME. It would require a lot of extra evidence though in order to show that, but then again its so new for MS that I doubt its been substantially tested yet - those studies are still in the future.
