Description
Hardly anyone knows about this (even some people who have it themselves), so I figured this might be educational. It's definitely a life altering condition, and a difficult, frustrating journey to find anything that helps.
In my opinion "Myalgic Encephalomyelitis" is the better term. "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome" ends up sort of downplaying the severity and might make you think it's "just being tired". If only that was all there is to it...
