CDC: ME is not CFS and CFS is not ME
"Various terms are incorrectly used interchangeably with CFS. CFS has an internationally accepted case definition that is used in research and clinical settings. ... The name myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) was coined in the 1950s to clarify well-documented outbreaks of disease;however, ME is accompanied by neurologic and muscular signs and has a case definition distinct from that of CFS."
