What is ME/CFS?Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), sometimes called ME, is a condition that affects multiple areas of the body. It causes long-lasting, extreme exhaustion that doesn’t get better with sleep. Other symptoms may include dizziness, pain, and problems thinking and sleeping. People with ME/CFS also have a symptom called post-exertional malaise (PEM). This means their symptoms get worse after thinking or moving.
1. 什么是ME/CFS？肌痛性脑脊髓炎/慢性疲劳综合征（ME/CFS），有时简称为ME，是一种影响身体多个部位的疾病。它会导致持久的、极度的疲劳，这种疲劳不会因睡眠而改善。其他症状可能包括头晕、疼痛以及思维和睡眠问题。ME/CFS患者还有一种称为劳后不适（PEM）的症状。这意味着他们在思考或活动后症状会加重。
Many people with ME/CFS feel so sick that they can’t leave their beds or their homes, making it difficult to manage everyday life. But researchers are actively studying ME/CFS—providing hope for better ways to diagnose and treat the condition.
