ME/CFS video.
This video from the Sleepydust Foundation highlights the plight of ME sufferers.
This website is about the terrible disease called ME/CFS and its many symptoms. ME, as its known in the UK and other parts of the world, and the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome as its known in North America, is a very complicated condition with no cure.
Doctors in the UK mainly accept ME as a debilitating illness, although still some are skeptical.
ME/CFS is a crippling neurological condition generally following a viral infection, although not in every case, in previously healthy and robust people. Some refer to it as Post Viral Syndrome. It can last for many years and in some cases render the sufferer bed-bound.
There is much research going into the cause of ME and the latest thinking is connected to the XMRV virus.
ME affects all the body and brain, so there is are many areas of medicine involved, including Sleep experts, Immunologists, Virologists, Neurologists and others.
