Thank you so much for that list with those nine factors @pamojja . I am doing all of them, except the radical diet change, since my diet was good to begin with. Just tweaking my diet instead, for now. Your list gives me hope. I know it might not make a difference, but it's good to have validation that I'm doing all I can within my power.
Yeah, I've done this, and found that stress makes my symptoms worse, and resolving/not resolving emotional problems does not make a difference, except for the stressful element of having to deal with problems, and the energy I put into it.
I also know what it feels like to have a small psychosomatic physical issue, and ME/CFS doesn't behave in the same way in my body as that.
This discussion is stemming from my personal experience.
I think this is the key barrier in understanding this field of how the mind impacts bodily health. Not enough research yet.
I agree on this point 
Only way to know at an individual level could be trying interventions addressing psychosomatic factors, and trying interventions addressing stress, and monitoring the difference.

there are unknown factors
mind/body pluralism is a false dichotomy
