I've wondered about this, too. It seems that in the past, it wasn't accepted by the medical community at all, but now it seems that they are getting to accepting it, if not fully accepting it. A virus may be involved...stress may be a factor to trigger the condition. Basically sounds as if a number of factors join together to induce the condition- not confirmed though. I don't know much at all about it, but it does sound that they are coming up with some physical, actual ideas about it (ie-not an imaginary condition). Actually, it sounds that no one quite understands it- a lot of mystery, debate, and unanswered questions.
