Many celiacs were once "diagnosed" with chronic fatigue syndrome or  it's twin cousin fibromyalgia.  The fact that these maladies are  diagnoses of exclusion tells me they don't have much concrete substance  to commend  them as recognizable processes.  It is my  untrained, unschooled (but heavily researched on an amateur's level)  opinion that these may denote an autoimmune disease as yet  undetectable, or in the case of celiacs, unlooked for.  Therefore,  I have to wonder if this new study in the AJM on the efficacy of the  drug methylphenidate on concentration problems in patients with chronic  fatigue syndrome might be of benefit to those of us with lingering  problems or trouble with concentration due to another autoimmune  disease (in my case, Graves').  This study shows some marked  benefit, the abstract says. I got this in an email from AMJ Plus.

  Can somebody with some tech know-how look at this and tell me what these chart figures mean?  I will summarize.
