Hi Ken

This might be a possibility for some people with CFS but in my case

I had a live blood analysis done last year and there was no sign of

any hypercoagulation whatsoever, I had the cleanest looking blood

the doctor had seen on a patient on the first visit. Yet I have

mild adrenal insufficiency but I am positive this is due to the

Pituitary being slightly damaged imeediately after childbirth 30

years ago.

Dr Peatfield here in the UK is positive that this Pituitary problem

leading to mild adrenal insufficiency is more common than realised

and that viruses like Epstein Barr can also harm the Pituitary as

well as operations like hysterectomies where there can be a large

loss of blood.

Sheenhans' Syndrome is the name given to this when it happens

immediately after childbirth.

Excellent to know -- and as a FYI, EBV is a APS infection (i.e.

known to trigger coagulation).

As a reminder to others: it's a model, not reality --- something that

describes the general cases, not specific cases.
