I've followed through on your links and suggested reading and to be honest a lot of your conclusions are based on theory from a decade or more ago. Obviously there are still some proponents of this being psychosomatic but it's widely and rightly disregarded now. I saw in one place that your your understanding of the illness was described as "6 months of disabling fatigue, depression, sleep disturbances, and/or GI problems" If that's the case then I'm afraid I don't think you are really an authority to talk about CFS from the perspective of a former patient. That does sound like a stress related breakdown which happens to share many of the symptoms associated with CFS.
