Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a chronic neurologic disease
often preceded by infection. There has been increased interest in ME/CFS recently
because of its significant overlap with the post-COVID syndrome (long COVID or post-acute
sequelae of COVID), with several studies estimating that half of patients with post-COVID
syndrome fulfill ME/CFS criteria. Our concise review describes a generalist approach to
ME/CFS, including diagnosis, evaluation, and management strategies.

In this SciShow video, Stefan Chin presents a snappy summary that trying to exercise your way out of ME/CFS is going to end in tears. They say that “ME/CFS, or Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, is way more than being tired at the end of the day. And, contrary to situations like that, exercise is the last thing you’d want to do.”
