encephalomyelitis

Ms Beck, 63, who suffers from myalgic encephalomyelitis, which is also known as chronic fatigue syndrome, said she had planned to visit the area soon.

The 27-year-old was confined to bed all day, unable to chew food and no longer able to sit up - she was severely ill with myalgic encephalomyelitis, or ME, and as a consequence severely malnourished.

She has been left almost bedbound by Myalgic encephalomyelitis and struggles to leave home to attend medical appointments.

But they did pick up something that hadn’t been discussed before: a link between AstraZeneca's viral-vector vaccine and acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, a rare condition that causes inflammation and swelling in the brain and spinal cord.

That was nearly a decade ago, and she has since struggled with the condition known as myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, or ME/CFS.
