ME refers to “myalgic encephalomyelitis” for those following at home.
It's what used to be called "chronic fatigue syndrome". Awful disease, I know a friend who has it and she can barely walk anymore.
Thanks for the info, I have heard of that but ME and its expanded name were new to me.
From what I understand the old label has fallen out of use because it wasn't really consistent with the diagnosis criteria and led to a lot of confusion.
Seems reasonable, although the new name seems less clear at face value.
Thanks! I thought it meant "Millenium Edition".
Oh, I thought it was @[email protected]
I mean I did choose my username after the name of the illness
It was you all along!
