**About ME/CFS**

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis is a complex neuroimmune disease affecting mainly the central nervous system, the metabolic system, and the immune system due to severe inflammation of the brain and spinal cord.

The cardinal symptom of ME is post-exertional malaise (PEM), or post-exertional neuroimmune exhaustion(PENE) or post-exertional symptom exacerbation (PESE). PEM is a flare of symptoms and/or the appearance of new symptoms after exertion.

People with ME/CFS can be bed bound for months, years, or even an entire lifetime, given there are currently no approved treatments for the disease.

ME/CFS is without a doubt a current and emerging issue in medicine -- The Center for Disease Control went so far as to call it a “hidden health crisis” in 2017. More information can be found in the links below.
