My mother and cousin both have M.E .. My eldest daughter has it but not so far my other 3 children
Again, I wonder if there are any signs of innate anatomic abnormalities in your family e.g. misshapen spines, hypermobility, connective tissue disorders, or historic sources of environmental toxicity (including pre-natal, peri-natal) common to you and your daughter?
Also wonder whether she was breast fed?
Surely if it was infectious all my children would have caught it when i was pregnant (apart from the 1st as i don’t think i had it then.)
Almost 100% of adults have evidence of previous infection of EBV so people whose family get sick with it, or similar viruses, really shouldn’t feel too guilty!
if there is a gut infection of some kind, and bacteria / toxins are going into the brain from the gut
For a while I flirted with the idea that ME/CFS may be to a certain extent rooted in gastrointestinal disorder. My current thinking is that gastrointestinal disorders and problems are secondary to a neurological aetiology (that may not, primarily, relate to infection at all)
