Not a scientist, but I've had M.E. for a very long time. My best guess, if you have an immune system that is chronically in top gear, or close to it, it is going to take out as many viruses as it can. It's not the number of viruses we have that is the problem, it's the immune system.

I used to be a teacher. I remember the year of the Jasons. There had been a tv actor, so, Jasons. I had five Jasons in a class of over thirty boys and girls. Very tricky. After that, if there were multiples, the kids and I had a plan - whole name, nick-name, second name - they chose.

Personally, I could use a photo ID. 79, long term M.E. person, no passport, drivers' licence long expired. I live in dread of someone saying they need photo ID. So, this one, or a new Gold Card?
