I recall numerous people reporting weight gain or loss due to ME. Here's a potential explanation. I think glial cells are involved in ME, and what areas of the brain are affected to what degree varies with the individual, so it seems reasonable that having these astrocytes in the hypothalamus malfunction would result in unexpected weight change.
