I am an ME/CFS patient, and developed ME/CFS after an episode viral meningitis/encephalitis in 2006, likely due to coxsackievirus B4 (I have high titers of 1:1024 to CVB4 by antibody neutralization test performed many years later in 2016, suggesting this is the virus behind my ME/CFS).

I post on the Phoenix Rising ME/CFS forum (latest posts here) and other ME/CFS forums under the same username. Twitter account here. As an ongoing project I maintain this document: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome — A Roadmap for Testing and Treatment.

I have an educational background in science (first degree in mathematics and physics, master's degree in cognitive science). Professionally I used to work as a software writer in digital media, but am not working due to ME/CFS. I live in the UK.
