    Extractions: FOR YOUR DOCTOR MYALGIC ENCEPHALOMYELITIS: A BAFFLING SYNDROME WITH A TRAGIC AFTERMATH by Melvin Ramsay, M.A., M.D. Hon Consultant Physician, Infectious diseases Department, Royal Free Hospital The syndrome which is currently known as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis in Great Britain and Epidemic Neuromyasthenia in the USA* leaves a chronic aftermath of debility in a large number of cases. The degree of physical incapacity varies greatly, but the dominant clinical feature of profound fatigue is directly related to the length of time the patient persists in physical efforts after its onset: put in another way, those patients who are given a period of enforced rest from the onset have the best prognosis. *Eponyms such as ‘Akuryeru Disease’. ‘Iceland Disease’ and ‘Royal Free Disease’ have also been used in the case of particular outbreaks. These have the disadvantage that they obscure the all important fact that the disease has been reported world-wide. A second group of clinical features found in patients suffering from myalgic encephalomyelitis would seem to indicate circulatory disorder. Practically without exception they complain of coldness of the extremities and many are found to have abnormally low temperatures of 94 or 95 degrees F. In a few these are accompanied by bouts of severe sweating even to the extent of waking during the night lying in a pool of water. A ghostly facial pallor is a well known phenomenon and this as often been detected by relatives some 30 minutes before the patient complains of being ill.

    Extractions: Journal: J of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Vol. 10(1) 2002, pp. 65-80 Author: John Richardson, MB BS HISTORY For those of us who are involved in the care of patients with this condition, the recorded work of Biorn Signurdsson (1913-1953) in connection with the Akureyn outbreak in Iceland which affected over 1000 patients, both children and adults was repeated by Melvin Ramsay when he was involved in the outbreak in his hospital which became known as the "Royal Free Disease" but defined by him as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis. This was followed by an excellent monograph in 1969 by Luis Leon-Sotomayor published by Pageant Press International Corp., New York and entitled, "Epidemic Diencephalomyelits; A Possible Cause of Neuropsychiatric, Cardiovascular and Endocrine Disorders." Since then many colleagues from the U.K. and other countries have demonstrated the pathological systemic consequences which may occur after a viral illness and have long term effects. All this work has been pursued by many colleagues in the U.K. and abroad since then, amongst whom are 72 who contributed to the book of more recent origin and published by the Nightingale Research Foundation, entitled, The Clinical and Scientific Basis of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis.

    Extractions: It is possible that the main title of the report Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report. Until the late 1980s, myalgic encephalomyelitis was thought to be a distinct, infectious disorder affecting the central, peripheral and autonomic nervous systems and the muscles. Its major symptom was fatigue to the point of extended periods of exhaustion. A group of experts studying the Epstein-Barr virus first published strict criteria for the symptoms and physical signs of chronic fatigue syndrome in 1988. This case definition was further refined in 1994. The Fact Sheet for CFS published by the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases of the National Institutes of Health states that "[T]oday, CFS is also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis, postviral fatigue syndrome, and chronic fatigue and immune dysfunction syndrome." ME/CFS is now recognized as part of a range of illnesses that have fatigue as a major symptom.

(Redirected from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Chronic fatigue syndrome CFS ), also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis ME post-viral fatigue syndrome PVFS ) and various other names, is a disorder of the central nervous system (CNS) characterized by a number of features, the most common and notable one being severe fatigue , usually made worse by even modest exertion. It is regarded by many as an organic brain disease. Its exact cause is unknown, although many theories have been advanced, and it is currently considered by most authorities to be incurable, although some cases may resolve over time and medication can bring a degree of relief in some others. edit Originally studied since the late as a immunological neurological disorder under the medical term "myalgic encephalomyelitis" (ME), CFS has been classified by the World Health Organisation (WHO) as a disease of the central nervous system since . In and early the terms "post viral fatigue syndrome" (PVFS) and "chronic fatigue syndrome" (CFS) were added to ME under the exclusive ICD-10 designation of G93.3.

The following information is taken from the website For those with severe M.E., I highly recommend the 25% M.E. Group, which I joined 3-4 years ago. If it weren't for them, I would think I am the only person in the world suffering as I do. Through the group, I now know there are 800 others in exactly the same situation as myself. Without each other, I think we would all feel like we were going mad. Just knowing there are others out there, experiencing the same things while knowing there is no treatment or cure - and no real good research being done in a big way - helps in a way that is very special. We are all in the same boat, experiencing the same problems, battles, ignorance and lack of understanding or appreciation what it means to be struck down with such a mysterious and complex illness. My heart goes out to the thousands of fit young soldiers who were struck down and became profoundly disabled by Gulf War Syndrome. They experience the same as us suffering from severe M.E. and also get little understanding or sympathy because nobody can really appreciate the day to day battles of living with such a devastating long term illness. Being disabled is one thing but being disabled and ILL is altogether different. I've said it before: I'd rather have both legs chopped off than this: at least with only two legs missing you can adapt and LIVE, get around on false legs, in a wheelchair or whatever, play sport and get involved in things that are invigorating, life giving and useful to others.

Accessibility Out There Links Notice Board Samantha Radford looks at the controversy surrounding myalgic encephalomyelitis A collective sigh of relief was heard across the United Kingdom in January 2002 when the chief medical officer, Professor Liam Donaldson, published his working group report describing myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) as a "real, debilitating, and distressing illness."1 The estimated 240?000 people in the United Kingdom who have ME - also known as chronic fatigue syndrome - have been holding their breath, waiting for the moment the illness would come out of the cold. Prevalence The UK government estimate of 240?000 people being affected by the condition is based on a survey done in Chicago, which suggests 4.22 cases per 1000 population. Estimates vary greatly, although the condition seems to be found mostly in advanced industrialised countries. The real extent of the problem worldwide is unknown. Under-representation of developing countries could be explained by poor health care and monitoring, as most chronically ill people are cared for in the community setting without proper medical care. Further epidemiological research is needed to clarify exactly how many people are affected and to what extent, to form a basis for health service planning.

Contrary to the authors' claims, Action for ME has never encouraged self diagnosis, and nor have the other "active support organisations" in Britain. Moreover, we have never advocated that patients should make unreasonable demands on their general practitioners.
