Here is the response to my email advocating more research into CFS! "Talk to the Office of Women's Health." My point was the opposite! I'm kind of fuming!

Very good point CityBug. What is the percentage of men estimated to be affected by CFS now? And would they be excluded from any 'CFS' studies funded by the 'Office for Research on Womens' Health' for being men? That is totally unacceptable.
