I am not good at responding to deeper or longer comments right away, due to a (CFS) info-processing glitch that often haunts me.
Yes, CFS is very related to an immune system dysfunction. This causes direct effects on organs, and also via the harm it does to, "the controlling organ," the brain. m Well, I would say less that cytokines modulate, and more that they cause, e.g., inflammatory responses, (w/ other factors).
Not sure how to respond to your sleep statement. CFS constantly causes poor sleep. Someone with CFS seldom awakens feeling well-rested... more like they have been awake for a week. I guess you could say that the neuro-immune problem is blocking the cells' normal regenerative activity. One can have poor sleep from other causes, of course.
Not sure I presently know what PSQI is.
Thanks. Before I got CFS, I intended to be a writer. I try to write through my brain fog, using one device of sort-of repeating myself in different ways, as the story moves along. That helps keep the reader understand where I'm at, even if my CFS then makes me drift.
This is the sort of thing I write from the inside out. I have so much personal experience w/ CFS, and so much study of it, that it isn't hard to write about. I have spent soooo much time writing drawn-out observations and thoughts and experiences, so now it is easy just to jot things down but in a cogent way. My best writing comes when I am informal, funny or drunk.
Conclusion: So much personal experience not only makes for better communication, it also means that I just might be ahead of science here or there, at least on this subject. Yay for me. Thank you for not being too critical, because that would make my attention even more tenuous.
