I believe that "Melvin Ramsay's "Epidemic" Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E.) - Atypical Poliomyelitis" should be it's own distinct disease category; which is separate from "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome". 

ACUTE DISSEMINATED ENCEPHALOMYELITIS - POST-INFECTIOUS & POST-VACCINATION "INFLAMMATORY" ENCEPHALOMYELITIS

Post-Infectious "Inflammatory" Encephalomyelitis has been linked to Enteroviruses and particularly Coxsackie B, Epstein Barr Virus, Cytomegalovirus, Human Herpes Virus 6, Varicella Zoster Virus, Influenza, Adenovirus, Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Borrelia and Mycoplasma in the medical literature; which have all been connected to the terms Myalgic Encephalomyelitis within the UK and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome within the US; which has erroneously made these two terms synonymous with each other. 

Post-Vaccination "Inflammatory" Encephalomyelitis is linked with Vaccine Injury.

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis is the "neuroimmune" and "inflammatory" neurological disease; which comes after Enteroviral "Brainstem" Rhombencephalitis and Encephalomyelitis.

ENTEROVIRUS ENCEPHALITIS - Encephalitis Society

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is a group of "missed diagnosed" illnesses; which may pass the London, Oxford, Fukuda, Canadian Consensus Criteria (CCC), International Consensus Criteria (ICC), Reeves Criteria and Systemic Exertion Intolerance Disease (SEID) criteria's.

The International Consensus Criteria is merely a diagnosis of a "probable" "neuroimmune" disease not an explicit diagnosis of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis.

CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME - Oxford Definition

A report--chronic fatigue syndrome: guidelines for research.

"Fatigue is the principal symptom: it is severe, disabling and affects physical and mental functioning; it should have been present for a minimum of 6 months during which it was present for more than 50% of the time."

"Other symptoms may be present: particularly myalgia, mood swings and sleep disturbances."

"Definite onset of symptoms, not life-long."

"Exclusions: patients with established medical conditions known to produce chronic fatigue; also patients with a current diagnosis of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder (manic depressive illness), substance abuse, eating disorder or proven organic brain disease."

THERE IS A PROVEN ORGANIC BRAIN DISEASE IN MYALGIC ENCEPHALOMYELITIS; WHICH DISQUALIFIES M.E. FROM THE OXFORD CRITERIA AND IT CAN BE LIFELONG IN CASES.

Epidemic Myalgic Encephalomyelitis - ME Pedia​

List of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome outbreaks - ME Pedia

The viruses linked to the "epidemics" are enteroviruses. Myalgic Encephalomyelitis is an outcome of an enteroviral infection under a compromised or ineffective immune response; leading to a secondary viremia which can lead onto a persistent non-cytolytic infection within the host.

Non-Cytolytic Enterovirus - ME Pedia

"They would have excluded some of the epidemic cases yes, and rightly so. Whatever those epidemics where, they were not what we have all being calling CFS/ME for many years See section 12 of a chapter I wrote a quarter of a century ago. Still apposite" - Simon Wessely (01/05/209), 10:01 (tweet from twitter)

Simon Wessely admitting that ME is not what they have been calling CFS/ME for all of these years.

"Dr. Wessely's work was mentioned. He has expressed his dissatisfaction with the guidelines and has written to the board to this effect. It was claimed that the DSS has misrepresented his work. He had included people with Chronic Fatigue Syndromes. There were other causes of this which people had recovered with exercise, whereas ME was made worse by exercise. The board had replied to Dr. Wessely and a copy of their reply was supplied to the ME representatives at the meeting" - from a Freedom Of Information (FOI) Request released Letter from 1992

Morbidity Tables on M.E. may cause panic (Video) - Llewellyn King & Dr. John Chia

Simon Wessely knows that "enteroviruses" were being thrown about as the triggering factor of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis in the late 80's as shown in the papers below.

VP-1 ANTIGEN IN CHRONIC POSTVIRAL FATIGUE SYNDROME (May, 1989) - Simon Wessely​

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis - a warning: discussion paper. (April, 1989) - Simon Wessely

Simon Wessely in this paper is trying to muddy the waters by connecting ME with affective disorders (Depression) as well as trying to introduce the idea of relabeling Myalgic Encephalomyelitis as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome even though in the 1992 FOI request letter quote above he is clearly saying that these are separate conditions.

Simon Wessely has given two talks for UNUM the insurance company. One was in London in 1995 and was about ME & CFS, the other was in 2007. This is a clear conflict of interest.

What is ME? Acheson described a different illness to CFS/ME. ME is not CFS or ME/CFS (Video) - Peter White

Peter White tries to justify deceiving patients into believing that they have CFS or CFS/ME knowing that ME is a very different illness; with the blind faith that it might improve recovery times from the illness even though he's admitting its considered incurable.

This fraud by misrepresentation is still going on with labeling Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E.) as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) and breaks the Fraud Act of 2006.

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E.) is a chronic, inflammatory, physically and neurologically disabling immune mediated disease that presents with symptoms involving multiple bodily systems. It is frequently triggered by a viral infection or as in the case of the Incline Village outbreak a flu-like illness, it affects the central nervous system (CNS), autonomic nervous system (ANS), immune system, cardiovascular system, endocrine system, digestive system, and (neuro) musculoskeletal system.

When ever you find a virus, it must fit the disease? (Video) - Dr. John Chia

"It should be noted that ME/CFS symptoms are comparable to those of "Post-Poliomyelitis Syndrome" (Bruno et al 1995) and that viral injury to excitable tissues, such as muscle and nerve, has the potential to alter their crucial metabolic functions. These metabolic functions include ion channel transport, mitochondrial function (Mitochondrial Encephalopathy & Myopathy) and the response to circulating neurotransmitters and neuro-hormones (Hypothalamic Hypopituitary) - the alterations are capable of persisting well after apparent recovery from a precipitating infection (Oldstone 1989)."(Taken from 5.1 Role of infection in ME/CFS/PVFS - An Exploration of the key clinical issues (2019 Edition) by Dr. Charles Shepherd & Dr. Abhijit Chaudhuri)

The Royal Free Hospital outbreak was a cluster outbreak of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis at the Royal Free Hospital in London. Between July and November, 1955 292 members of the medical, nursing, auxiliary medical, ancillary, and administrative staff fell ill, of which 255 were admitted to the hospital.

"Evidence of involvement of the sympathetic nervous system (Autonomic Nervous System Dysfunction and Adrenal Dysfunction) or actual hypothalamic damage (Hypothalamic Dysfunction) was to be found in most cases. This often took the form of orthostatic tachycardia (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (PoTS)) (which Leon-Sotomayor (1969) states does not occur in cases of hysteria), chilliness of the extremities with increased sensitivity to cold (Hypothyroidism/Low T3 Syndrome), circulatory impairment (Raynaud's or Hyper-coagulation) and hypothermia."

ONSET SYMPTOMS

an upper respiratory track infection, which may include "rhinosinusitis", a "sore throat", (laryngitis), (pharyngitis) or (tonsillitis - Viral Replication) or (herpangina), "croup" (breathing difficulty and harsh cough), blisters or ulcers may develop on roof of mouth, cheeks or on tongue  - Cold/Flu-like Onset

or a lower respiratory track infection like (bronchitis or bronchiolitis) so a persistent "cough"; (pneumonia), (pleurisy) or (pulmonary edema) - Respiratory-like Onset

and/or

gastrointestinal disturbances including (gastroenteritis) and "nausea" and/or "vomiting" and "diarrhea" and "abdominal pain" including (gastritis) and (enterocolitis "Peyer Patches" - Viral Replication) - Gastroenteritis Onset

and

"acute vertigo" and "ataxia"

Accompanied by a "fever", "hyperhidrosis - excessive sweating", severe "headache", "myalgia - muscle pain" and "malaise & fatigue" and leading to "rhombencephalitis", "post-infectious encephalomyelitis" and "tinnitus: pulsatile, tonal, neurological".

leading onto "sympathetic nervous system dominance" and "tertiary adrenal insufficiency", "insomnia", "hypersomnia" and "sleep reversal" and "weight loss" then "headaches", a "stiff neck - whiplash, neck pain and crepitus", "post-infectious encephalitis, and neuroinflammation - hypersensitive primed microglia and oxidative stress" (brain fog), "myelitis", "lower back pain", "syncope post exertion crashes", "post-infectious myositis", "arthralgia", "arthritis", "myalgia", "muscle stiffness", "muscle weakness", "spastic paraplegia" and "flu-like muscle fatigue after exertion": 2020 NICE guidelines call this "profound malaise".

Spots or Rashes may or may not develop around the mouth. Exanthems of the extremities may appear in red spots, which develop into blisters, on either the hands or the feet in some cases but not in others.

Sensitivities to light known as Photophobia, to sound known as Hyperacusis or Misophonia, and to touch known as Allodynia may develop in some but not in others.

"Since the disease is so very protean in its manifestations it may masquerade as influenza, respiratory catarrh, tonsillitis, gastroenteritis, rheumatism or as some transient virus infection" - Melvin Ramsay ("Infectious Diseases" 1967 book, page 142)

(also known as Atypical Poliomyelitis or Polioencephalitis: Superior Polio - Medin Type) is a subtype of a "8E49 Postviral Fatigue Syndrome" within the ICD-11 and should be seen as such as its listed as such by the World Health Organisation (WHO).

This condition should have its own distinct set of criteria; which separates the condition from other similar conditions as its own distinct disease entity. 

It also should have its own treatment; which is designed to treat the symptoms; including hormonal deficiencies as well as antivirals or immune modulating drugs or techniques designed to eradicate or minimize the destruction of the viral attack on the central nervous system and subsequent outcomes of such an attack.

HYPOTHALAMIC and TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY mediated HYPOPITUITARISM

Hypothalamic Disease - Wikipedia

The hypothalamus is the control center for several endocrine functions. Endocrine systems controlled by the hypothalamus are regulated by hormone (ADH) antidiuretic, corticotropin-releasing hormone, gonadotropin-releasing hormone, growth hormone-releasing hormone, oxytocin, all of which are secreted by the hypothalamus. Damage to the hypothalamus may impact any of these hormones and the related endocrine systems. Many of these hypothalamic hormones act on the pituitary gland. Hypothalamic disease therefore affects the functioning of the pituitary and the target organs controlled by the pituitary, including the adrenal glands, ovaries and testes, and the thyroid gland.

Reference ranges for blood tests - Wikipedia

A reference range is usually defined as the set of values 95 percent of the normal population falls within (that is, 95% prediction interval). It is determined by collecting data from vast numbers of laboratory tests.

"You can't determine an individuals healthy range of functioning using this equation its preposterous" - My own thoughts. 

Its a "guessimate" based on the assumption that 95% of the population is healthy in a reality that doesn't exist. 

Its NOT science and lacking of any common sense whatsoever.

Some viral infections thought to induce ADEM include Influenza Virus, Dengue, Enterovirus, Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Varicella Zoster, Epstein Barr Virus, Cytomegalovirus, Herpes Simplex Virus, Hepatitis A, and Coxsackievirus; while the bacterial infections include Mycoplasma Pneumoniae, Borrelia Burgdorferi, Leptospira, and Beta-Hemolytic Streptococci.

Exposure to vaccines: Hepatitis B, Human Papillomavirus (HPV), Pertussis, Diphtheria, Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Pneumococcus, Varicella, Influenza, Japanese Encephalitis, and Polio vaccines have all been implicated.

The MMR vaccine has Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis listed in the vaccine insert as a potential risk for the immune compromised.

History of Prejudice by Nasim Marie Jafry

"One final thing: I was diagnosed with M.E. by a consultant neurologist (Peter Behan) after becoming ill with Coxsackie B4 in 1983 - pre-Canadian clinical guidelines - with what is known as Ramsay-defined M.E.. Everyone with an interest in M.E. should read Dr. Melvin Ramsay's book, The Saga of Royal Free Disease, 1986. He says - 'The prejudice harboured against those of us who hold the view that M.E. is an organically determined disease defies rational explanation'". - Nasim Marie Jafry

"You simply cannot look at M.E. without examining this history of prejudice." - Nasim Marie Jafry

The NHS has been discriminating against people with brain injuries and disability breaking the 2010 Equality Act and 2005 Disability Discrimination Act by denying people with brain injuries appropriate medical care.

Disability discrimination when accessing and using health services

I'm of the belief that Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E.), Post-Infectious Disease Syndrome (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome), Postviral Fatigue Syndrome, Post-Pregnancy Fatigue Syndrome, Post-Surgery Fatigue Syndrome, Post-Infectious or Autoimmune Encephalitis, Fibromyalgia, Toxic Encephalopathy, Post-Sepsis Syndrome, Lyme Disease, Elhers Danlos Syndromes and Post-Concussion Syndrome: Traumatic Brain Injury (T.B.I.) needs to be physically added in name terms to the Equality Act of 2010 just like M.S. and H.I.V. is there in name terms. These conditions all face a similar history of discrimination against them. 

IT IS HISTORY REPEATING

History Repeats Itself (Charlie Chaplin Video Edit) - A.O.S.

The DWP has been discriminating against people with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, Post-Infectious Disease Syndrome (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome), Postviral Fatigue Syndrome, Post-Sepsis Syndrome, Toxic Encephalopathy, Fibromyalgia, Traumatic Brain Injury and Lyme Disease by making them fight for their benefits and attempting to target this group of patients; who are severely unwell and attempting to defraud them out of their entitlements. Rejecting that they are too unwell to work. Manipulating their assessments, falsely misrepresenting their symptoms and the effect those symptoms have on them and "gaslighting" their lived experience in the interpretation of the assessments; and then making them fight them; with mandatory reconsideration's; when they have cognitive dysfunction and impairment; paralytic exhaustion and a whole host of other symptoms; sending them off to a judge and doctor to prove that they are too unwell to work and suffering from brain injuries.

Rituximab treatment for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis is stupid. 

Enterovirus infections of the Central Nervous System Review

"The possible persistence and reactivation of EV in a clinical setting is of profound importance, especially with the addition of immunosuppressive drugs, such as Rituximab, given to patients suffering from B cell lymphomas. Immunosuppression, especially with drugs targeting the humoral immune response, may lead to reactivation/increased replication of persistent EV in the CNS with potentially dangerous neurological complications (Schilthuizen et al., 2010; Servais et al., 2010)."

I believe "Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E.)", "Post-Infectious Disease Syndrome (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome)", "Lyme Disease" and "Post-Concussion Syndrome (Traumatic Brain Injury)" should be classified under a new category of "Neuro-Endocrine, Immunological, Nutritional and Metabolic" conditions because the current best evidence suggests that's where they should be categorized.

ENDOCRINE - Hypothalamic-Pituitary Dysfunction - Hormone Deficiencies

NEUROLOGICAL - Orthostatic Intolerance - Autonomic Nervous System Disorder (Dysautonomia) - Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (PoTS), Orthostatic Hypotension (OH) or Neurally Mediated Hypotension (NMH)

IMMUNOLOGICAL - Immune Dysfunction (Higher Th2 than Th1) - Inflammation, Allergy and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS)

NUTRITIONAL - Mitochondrial Dysfunction (Mitochondrial Encephalopathy and Myopathy) - Nutritional Deficiencies

METABOLIC - Metabolic Syndrome & Lactic Acidosis
