In this third edition (Nov) we find a CFS researcher publishing a
'novel' that may help explain GWS and CFS. The research section focuses
on two studies that may be explain the low blood volume and vascular
problems in one subset of POT and CFS patients. This reseach, which
centers around angiotensin II and nitric oxide, may have implications
for the cardiovascular problems seen in some CFS patients.  Another
study reveals the presence of yet another opportunistic pathogen in CFS
and ties that pathogen to increased oxidative stress.

This edition inaugurates a Report From.... series which queries CFS
patients around the world on the conditions they face in overcoming
this disease.

Finally, the MCS story  started in the last edition is completed.
