Abstract
It is suggested that chronic fatigue syndrome/fibromyalgia is caused by virus injury to the calcium channels leading to larger quantities than usual of calcium ions entering the striated muscle cells. Should this be true, then treatment with a calcium antagonist (CA) may possibly be of value.
