I am not interested in being part of a sufferer's group. The last thing I need is a like-minded echo chamber to preach to.

No, I didn't mean a "let's meet for tea and share sob stories" group, I meant if we had 3-4 talented individuals with CFS and a pro-rationality mindset, it may be worth trying to see whether we can easily nudge the medical community into trying to seriously investigate the HPA/thyroid angle on CFS.

why do you think adrenal rather than thyroid?

I'm open to the possibility that the thyroid could be the main locus of the problem.

At some point, the world will work out what causes CFS. Medicine is entering a highly data-driven era and this disease will leave evidence scattered around the epigenome, gene expression levels, hormones, etc. Eventually all people in the developed world will have devices implanted to measure all this stuff and it will be analysed and the correlations will be exposed. However, my lifetime is not infinitely long, so if I can hasten that point relatively cheaply, I want to do so.
