chronic fatigue and car crap

Several days ago I learned that people with chronic fatigue tend test positive for a virus that researchers expect causes the illness, a finding which, even if the virus is a side-effect instead of the cause, makes the people who thought chronic fatigue was a mental problem look like a bunch of jerks.

In other news, you can power wash car seat cushions. All you have to do is remove the seats and carpet from the car and then spray the crap out of them. You have to make sure that the pressure washer is clean enough to use first, which can be a challenge if you bought one new. We had to run a bottle of dish soap through the soap container first, and if that voids the warranty, this is still a mostly anonymous blog, and I didn't buy it anyway.

The people who stake their professional reputations on the idea that ME/CFS is psychological haven't given up yet. Psychiatrist Simon Wessley acted dismissive of the findings because XMRV wasn't a model that explained "absolutely everything."

Whatever. The news is exciting. I'm waiting to see if EIs are also more likely to test positive.
