Hello, Living with cfs me! This is JaimeS. Nice to meet you! Thank you so, so much for contributing some pages to MEpedia!

I noticed that the 5-HTP page you were working on was flagged as needing cleanup so I went in and altered a few things: http://me-pedia.org/wiki/5-Hydroxytryptophan

It's still a stub, but a few important things were shifted:

• Now there are references!  :) You can add references by clicking the 'cite' button when you are editing.
• Now there are no recommendations to follow! Previously, the page looked as though it could be encouraging people to take 5-HTP.

Welcome to MEpedia, and thanks again for joining!

myalgic encephalomyelitis (M.E.) - 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.
