Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

[John R. McQuiston]

Try searching medline at
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/PubMed/
That might help.

Also, I really doubt they are contagious, or at least highly as you implied, or 
else we would be seeing alot more of them.  This may be a question for 
bionet.virology or .neuroscience.

Sorry I can't help more.
