> You mention nuclear waste. It got me to thinking, do you know if

anyone has done a geographical study of CFS and fibro patients? Is

there any kind of trend based on nuclear power plants? I ask because

I live in Toledo, OH. If you aren't familiar, we have 2 large

nuclear power plants within a 50(?) mile radius. ( Bessy and

sburg). I just wonder if this could be in any way related to my

illness.

> Rich, I was just curious - since you have worked with nuclear waste

- if you were familiar with the symptoms of radiation poisoning, e.g.

people working in nuclear power plants who were exposed to an

inordinate amount of radiation or people that were exposed to nuclear

plant accidents like Chernobyl or Three Mile Island. (I understand

that in the later case there was a cover-up about the effects - e.g.

deformed fetuses, etc.) I guess what I am getting at here is whether

there is any similarity here with the symptoms of CFS? peace, paul
