Myalgic encephalomylitis>( medical name for CFS). I hate the name CFS. It is not a good name for all the symptoms. It minimizes the condition. ( Alot of misunderstanding and lack of taking the illness seriously by bnoth providers and other ppl has been caused by the use of CFS. When it is so much more. Also, alot of eye rolling goes along with it too. I have used the nam,e of ME for yrs. and get a much better response from providers as well as everyday ppl. Whats in a name?
