After ruling out the many illnesses that can cause fatigue, many physicians will tell their CFS patients that their symptoms are " psychosomatic". Well, there is overwhelming evidence that CFS/FMS symptoms are "neurosomatic", and not psychosomatic; that is to say that CFS/FMS is a NEUROLOGICAL ILLNESS. It is a neurotransmitter/receptor dysfunction problem. The symptoms occur because sensory information is not properly managed by the brain.

Cerebral blood flow imaging by SPECT (single photon emission computerized tomography) and PET (positron emission tomography), as well as topographic brain mapping with evoked responses using BEAM (brain electrical activity mapping) have been reported to be abnormal in a large majority of patients with CFS, showing a pattern different from normal controls and those with depression. Findings of the above imaging and topographic tests suggest an abnormality of several anatomic regions of the brain in CFS

"In what part of the brain do these problems exist? We know that it's not the outer part. We all know that the brain has control over virtually every system. We think that the problem in CFS and FMS is in a dysfunction in one or more of the control centers. What I'm going to do is take an example of a manifestation and show you how we have come to think that one of the control centers is probably responsible."
