Myalgic Encephalomyelitis

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME), also known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, is a complex, long-term illness characterized by severe fatigue that doesn't improve with rest. It involves dysfunction in multiple body systems, including the nervous and immune systems, leading to symptoms like pain, cognitive difficulties, sleep problems, and dizziness. The exact cause is unknown, and it can be triggered by infections, stress, or other factors. ME significantly impacts daily life, making even simple activities exhausting. Diagnosis is based on symptom patterns, and there's currently no cure, but management focuses on alleviating symptoms and improving quality of life.
