@Cort, your April NIH ME/CFS RFI input states: "Emphasize how fatigue is a core symptom in many diseases, how little is known about it, the great need to learn more about it, and how ME/CFS...provides a unique opportunity to unlock much that is unknown about fatigue."

Might you touch base with them, they seem to have gotten your message! :thumbsup:
