    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 first glance.

        I mean I did choose my username after the name of the illness
