| Introduction | ME: myalgic encephalomyelitis (pronounced [my-al'jik en-sef'a-lo-my'e-ly'tis]) or M.E. "inflammation of the brain and spinal cord with muscle pain," as a disease entity has been recognized and described in the medical literature since 1938, with the seminal paper being that by Wallis in 1957; Sir Donald Acheson's (a former Chief Medical Officer) major review of ME was published in 1959.[8] In 1962 the distinguished neurologist Lord Brain included ME in his textbook of neurology, and in 1978 the Royal Society of Medicine accepted ME as a distinct clinical entity. In 1988 both the UK Department of Health and Social Services and the British Medical Association officially recognized it as a legitimate and potentially distressing disorder. Opponents of the term ME maintain there is no inflammation, although there are cases of CFS that present inflammation (see Sophia Mirza). There is no evidence that this inflammation causes the illness (in the case of Sophia Mirza, the pathologist stated that the inflammation is typical of Herpes infections, which are common in CFS patients). Also, many CFS patients do not experience the muscle pain (or indeed any type of pain) required for ME. |
