I posted a new article on empowher.com today called Chronic Fatigue Syndrome And XMRV: A Matter Of Blood.

Great article, Jody - I had thought the situation was too complex now to summarise concisely but you've both done that and made it humanly interesting. Great writing!

Thanks Jody! Well done!

Thanks guys.

I wrote three different versions of this before it was all said and done. I can only use 400 words which makes it challenging.

The first version read too raw, and I figured people would discount it. The second one was my thoughts but not enough information. The third was all information (who did what when) but that was all. I was going to submit that one though because I also felt like it's all too complex for me to be able to make it clear in 400 words -- especially since the whole point is -- it's not clear. Nothing is clear.

My husband encouraged me to blend version 2 and version 3 and ... there it is. :Retro smile:

gosh darn it, that was good: personal, using metaphors, a thread throughout, yet short and direct.

I'm impressed.

Thanks, Jody. Nicely written. As was the previous article, "Ten Ways to Handle the Isolation".
