Help may finally be at hand for sufferers of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) thanks to a group of British researchers who have found abnormalities in the white blood cells of the afflicted.
If the early results are borne out by wider research - and initial indications are that they will be - it could lead not only to a blood test for the condition but possibly a drug to treat it, New Scientist magazine reported on Wednesday (July 20).
It will be welcome news to CFS sufferers whose symptoms of acute fatigue, headaches, disrupted sleep patterns and an inability to think clearly are often dismissed as being all in the mind.
