Exactly. I appear to be one of them - a canary, of sorts. Chronic 
Fatigue Syndrome, Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, and while it looks
like we're beating it, it's resisting /as if/ I'm still exposed to 
something we haven't figured out yet.

So, since I spend hours/day at the computer.. we're looking into
getting me a flatscreen monitor. In case that's it.

Shall I let you know if it makes a difference? I know anecdotal stuff
'in the wild' isn't research, but it can trigger research. :)
