I started watching this, and will finish later because I cannot do it in one shot. It is really wrenching to watch all these young people so crippled with this nightmare, and so few researchers on this. So, be prepared: it is not easy. But it looks really well done. Congratulations to film makers.

Dr Scheibenbogen (at where I am now) says that this illness comes after an infection. The immune system goes up high to deal with the infection, and then does not return to base line, and this affects the autonomic nervous system.( I am listening in German because there are no subtitles. )

What we need to raise funds is just .... a biomarker

Im still wading thru this in short sections.

But what are the "treatments" the doctors here seem to refer to? (maybe they say eventually). What are the treatments, alluded to there in Germany?
