- Four out of five people with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) are infected with an enterovirus -- one of the viruses that cause respiratory and gastrointestinal infections -- compared with only one out of five healthy people. The virus might be a trigger for CFS, although research has not yet confirmed a cause-and-effect relationship.
- According to new guidelines, symptoms that suggest a diagnosis of CFS include disabling fatigue that starts suddenly, lasts a long time, keeps coming back, and can't be explained by another condition. Other symptoms may include difficulty concentrating or sleeping, dizziness, headaches, muscle or joint pain, sore throat, and palpitations.

- People with fibromyalgia have decreased activity in opioid receptors in parts of the brain that affect mood and the emotional aspect of pain, researchers have found. This might explain why fibromyalgia patients are likely to experience depression, and are not very responsive to opioid painkillers.
- Researchers have identified a conflict between sensory perception and nervous system processing in people with fibromyalgia. One study suggests that people with the condition might have greater awareness of, or less tolerance for, movement problems (such as tremor) that don't match with their expected sensory feedback.
