I am not really sure what you are saying here. Everyone has previously-caught viral infections remaining in their body, but these earlier infections are normally kept in check (ie, kept in a dormant and latent state) by a healthy immune system. For example, most infants will have picked up HHV-6 by about the age of three; and most of us will have picked up Epstein-Barr virus in our teenage years, but these infections will normally be kept latent by a strong immune system.
ME/CFS-triggering enteroviruses such as coxsackievirus B and echovirus are immunosuppressive, and so when you catch one of these ME/CFS-triggering enteroviruses, as a result of a weakened immune system, other latent viruses may spring back to life, and probably contribute to ME/CFS symptoms.

Sorry. Totally missed the alert to your reply.
I am wondering why your poll lists only the answers it does and doesn't ask - just as an example - if anyone had had any previous viral infections or say, a reaction to vaccination - or any other of the supposed triggers or indeed causal hypotheses. I guess I am asking why you list only the options you do as answers? What is it you are hoping to gain from the poll?
Thanks.
