What Does It Mean? -
CFS also known as M.E. and CFIDS

CFS also known as M.E. and CFIDS continues from Recovery From ME/CFS, and is also relevant to the pages on Living With ME/CFS.

The Different Names For ME/CFS. What Does It Mean?

I will use different names at different times on this site, including the much used term Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Please note though that I personally prefer the term M.E.
It is very easy for people to hear the words chronic fatigue and forget the syndrome part. I once heard someone put it well when they said:
“Calling the illness chronic fatigue is like calling Alzheimer’s Disease chronic forgetfulness.” hmmm.

Although CFS is also known as M.E., there are actually some distinctions in the diagnostic criteria. Personally, I was diagnosed at different times with both M.E and CFS, and I was also told I had Fibromyalgia when I was "mapped".

The Advice On This Site Applies Whatever The Diagnosis

Because CFS is also known as other things, and because there is no clear diagnostic criteria, when we get given any of these diagnoses we can be left worried that there is some other condition going on that is not being treated.

I found it comforting and sensible to engage in holistic mind body medicine that would benefit any condition.

Because A-Spiritual-Journey-Of-Healing.com is focused on health and not the details of illness, most of the advice on these pages will be helpful to someone seeking recovery from any illness.
