A comment in another thread made me think of this. One model of ME is that whatever the core dysfunction is, it has highly localized effects in an individual pattern in brains, as opposed to a general effect on all brain cells. So, I'm wondering whether some PWME show signs of highly-localized brain cell dysfunction. Maybe someone has trouble remembering words starting with a certain letter, or finds certain letter combinations hard to read. Maybe their left hand twitches while the right doesn't. Maybe a "bug crawling on my skin" sensation on one part of the body.

I'm guessing this isn't a common effect, but I thought it was worth asking.
