speakers. At least with Lyme Disease, we could document prior exposure to Borrelia burgdorferi (the infective agent for LD). With CFS, researchers had the challenge of many many conditions being lumped together (and quite frequently discounted entirely, with many in medicine offering little more than ridicule). It has taken many years, but I'm glad to see progress being made to at least clearly diagnose it--if this work holds up.
