A lot to take in though research suggests around 40% of M.E patients will also have Fibromyalgia, so your far from alone and in a good place for finding coping strategies from experienced members of this community.

Hi Erona4

ME is the common name for Myalgic Encephalopathy, sometimes also known as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis. CFS is the common name for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

I hope that helps

I am so genuinely sorry to read that you have also been diagnosed with ME, and I want to sincerely wish you all the best of luck with your new medication.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Ken

I was told by my gp I have me, but by a specialist I have fibro. When I asked my gp about it she said they were the same thing and treated exactly the same way.
