https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fimmu.2018.00229/full … Interesting hypothesis for how CFS works. An infection causes an immune response; some of the antibodies produced attack mitochondria (which, after all, originated as bacteria) and make energy metabolism less efficient, causing fatigue.

huh, weird! My guess would have been that anti-mitochondria Abs are basically responding to dead/damaged cells/debris but may not do anything since they can’t reach intact mitochondria...but the whole notion of infections triggering autoimmunity is a big interesting one
