Isn't CFS/ME Just an Excuse to Sleep All of the Time? No!
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E.) is a long-term, chronic, regularly fluctuating neurological condition which causes numerous symptoms affecting every system in the body. M.E. is also commonly known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), Post Viral Fatigue Syndrome (PVFS) and Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome (CFIDS). These are all the same illness. M.E. mainly, but not solely, affects the nervous and immune systems. M.E. currently affects an estimated 250,000 people in the UK, and around 17 million people worldwide.
