Hi GratefulGran, regarding CFS and ME, please consider looking into the story of Erik Johnson. He was at ground zero for a viral outbreak in the Tahoe region in the mid-eighties. Survivors who subsequently developed CFS (when the CDC first coined this phrase) and ME all had the common denominator of mold exposure. Just search his name and mold together. Obviously I cannot say for sure, but your symptoms are highly suggestive of neurotoxic poisoning from mold. Just like me.
