International IACFS/ME Research and Clinical Conference
The International IACFS/ME Research and Clinical Conference is a biennial medical conference for researchers, clinicians and patients interested in myalgic encephalomyelitis, chronic fatigue syndrome , fibromyalgia, and their co-morbid illnesses (e.g. orthostatic intolerance, sleep dysfunction, irritable bowel syndrome) and others), as well as other conditions associated with acute or chronic fatigue.

myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) - A disease often marked by neurological symptoms, but fatigue is sometimes a symptom as well. Some diagnostic criteria distinguish it from chronic fatigue syndrome, while other diagnostic criteria consider it to be a synonym for chronic fatigue syndrome. A defining characteristic of ME is post-exertional malaise (PEM), or post-exertional neuroimmune exhaustion (PENE), which is a notable exacerbation of symptoms brought on by small exertions. PEM can last for days or weeks. Symptoms can include cognitive impairments, muscle pain (myalgia), trouble remaining upright (orthostatic intolerance), sleep abnormalities, and gastro-intestinal impairments, among others. An estimated 25% of those suffering from ME are housebound or bedbound. The World Health Organization (WHO) classifies ME as a neurological disease.
