- Myalgic encephalopathy, sometimes also abbreviated as ME, is a general term that denotes a central nervous system pathology with muscle pain, without specifying a specific disorder or disease process. Nancy Klimas, president of the IACFS/ME, has been quoted to say that by 2008 inflammation (-itis) can be identified in 80% of all patients with ME/CFS. The remaining 20% would still classify as myalgic encephalopathy.[1]
