Hmm. Compare and contrast this to our recent conversation on the

possible role of stress.

Since I'm open to the idea that stress doesn't cause this, but can

make it worse, I'm also open to the idea that anything that reduces

physical and emotional stress is likely to make Life With ME a little

better. If we can keep it on that level, I'd be OK with it.

But, as lifelong scholar of comparative religion, I'm well aware of

many forms of " prayer, " and not thrilled at the prospect of

discussing the virtues of one form over another when it comes to CFS.

I feel exactly the same way about my IM B12/glutathione/AMP shot. My

big fat red miracle, absolutely.

But I'm the kinda girl who likes her science and her religion served

on different plates. When they get mixed up, it just makes a big mess.
