  Encephalitis and encephalomyelitis cure trial and research
Encephalitis literally means an inflammation of the brain, but it usually refers to brain inflammation caused by a virus.
Encephalitis may also be called acute viral encephalitis or aseptic encephalitis.
Myalgic encephalomyelitis symptoms tend to fluctuate quite markedly, not just from day to day but also from hour to hour.

 Myalgic encephalitis - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Myalgic encephalitis
Common debilitating condition characterized by a diffuse range of symptoms present for at least six months including extreme fatigue, muscular pain, weakness, depression, poor balance and coordination, joint pains, and gastric upset.
The term myalgic encephalomyelitis was replaced with the more accurate term CFS because sufferers do not have encephalomyelitis (inflammation of the muscle membranes) and many do not have myalgia (muscle pain).

 ME Advocacy - Will It Work?
But science is clear that the term encephalitis or encephalomyelitis (acute brain or spinal inflammation) has not been shown to be pathologically correct.
Although her neighbors weren’t sure what the terms 'myalgic' or 'encephalitis' meant, they reacted much more sympathetically to thier technical reverberation than they did to the benign sounding, chronic fatigue syndrome.
Based on this outcome, she felt the grave first impression myalgic encephalitis conveyed was a strong justification to base her future advocacy efforts around the term.

 Chronic fatigue syndrome   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
ME was originally short for "Myalgic Encephalomyelitis," literally "infection and swelling of the brain with muscle pain," or "Myalgic Encephalitis," "infection of the brain with muscle pain." Like CFIDS, the term ME is often used although its original meaning is inaccurate.
These include fibromyalgia syndrome, myalgic encephalomyelitis, neurasthenia, multiple chemical sensitivities, and chronic mononucleosis.

 Medical Conditions - Myalgic Encephalitis (ME) and Glyconutrients
Myalgic encephalitis (ME), post viral fatigue syndrome (PVFS), fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) are thought by some people to be the same condition, but, although many of the symptoms are the same, ME, as its name suggests, affects the muscles and the brain, more than the other conditions do.
For all people not just those with myalgic encephalitis (ME), glyconutrients form the basic cellular language of all cells.; Cells require adequate amounts of glyconutrients to allow cells to communicate 'correctly'.
These nutrients are known to improve the immune system function, organ function and improve basic body physiology.
