Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is long-term tiredness (fatigue) that does not go away with sleep or rest, and affects everyday life.
CFS is also known as ME (myalgic encephalomyelitis). ‘Myalgia’ is muscle pain, and ‘encephalomyelitis’ is inflammation of the brain and spinal cord. ME is a commonly used term, although it is thought to be too specific to cover all the symptoms.

The administrators of the ‘Living With ME’ website do not advocate the use of any particular type of medication, treatment or healthcare! YOU should ALWAYS seek advice from a DOCTOR / GP / CONSULTANT before undertaking or ceasing any treatment!
