== Why the acronym ME/CFS is used == *[[Solve ME/CFS]] answer in 'Reader Questions': "Why does your organization call this disease ME/CFS?" in its [http://solvecfs.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Chronicle-02-2017.pdf ''The Solve ME/CFS Chronicle Winter 2017 Edition'', (Pg. 18.)] :''Excerpt'' ::ME/CFS is a hybrid term for a community and disease in transition. It combines the older and more broadly recognized βCFSβ with the less stigmatized βME,β which is becoming more commonly used. Many governments and health authorities have recently adopted the term βME/CFS,β which has evolved to become the most accessible term to meet the needs of the broadest audience. The [[Solve ME/CFS Initiative]] adopted this name so that our organization would be accessible and understandable to medical, academic, patient, and government audiences alike. *[http://www.openmedicinefoundation.org/what-is-mecfs/ What is ME/CFS?] By the [[Open Medicine Foundation]]
