She was recently also awarded a grant by the CAA
http://www.cfids.org/about-cfids/research-release12-08.pdf  :
"Kathleen Light, PhD, a research professor at the University of Utah Health
Sciences Center. Light and her team will try to uncover the mechanisms
involved in the chronic pain that afflicts 40%-70% of CFS patients. This
study will confirm or negate preliminary evidence Light gathered during an
NIH-funded study demonstrating that
receptors located on blood cells are increased and overactive in people with
CFS, causing increased pain sensitivity. Light theorizes that increases in
specific receptors following exercise may be blood-based biomarkers for CFS
and could lead to a medical test to identify CFS patients. The study will
also examine a combination of blood receptors to help identify subtypes of
CFS and guide treatment of specific patient subgroups".]
