The Solve ME/CFS Initiative (Solve M.E.) wants to be helpful to all those interested in telling the story of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), Long COVID and other post-infectious diseases – traditional journalists, social media writers, and anyone working on sharing accurate information. Interviews with Solve M.E. spokespeople, expert sources working in ME/CFS, Long COVID, and post-infectious disease research and connections to patients can be arranged upon request.

The ME/CFS community prefers to use “Myalgic Encephalomyelitis,” “ME” or “ME/CFS” when referring to this devastating illness. “Chronic Fatigue Syndrome” is no longer the commonly accepted terminology.

If referring to the illness as “Chronic Fatigue Syndrome,” we recommend using capital letters. We feel it’s important to distinguish this disabling disease from “fatigue” that can be a symptom of many different chronic health conditions. We request that you follow these terminology guidelines when you are quoting Solve M.E. or referencing our information.
