M.E. is Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, but depending on which country you live in it is sometimes called...CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome), CFIDS (Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome), PVFS (Post-Viral Fatigue Syndrome) and ME/CFS, amongst others.
The World Health Organisation (WHO), classifies it as a Neuro Immune Desease. It effects many different parts of the body and leaves the patient with numerous health issues including...
Debilitating fatigue, brain fog, mental and physical exhaustion, poor short term memory, widespread joint and body pain, unrefreshing sleep, orthostatic intolerance (POTS or NMH), dizzyness, nausea, inability to properly control body temperature (sweats and chills), headaches, IBS symptoms, post-exertional malaise, cardiac and respiratory problems, tender lymph nodes, the list goes on...
If you like you can look up "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome" on Wikipedia for a full run down on the disease.
