First, and most importantly, the patient community has jumped on board. Your feedback has been positive and encouraging. While there are a few people who have other preferences, the vast majority of you strongly support adopting the acronym ME/CFS to replace the old Chronic Fatigue Syndrome name. When we began the Fair Name Campaign, our intention was to have a vote on whether or not to accept the Name Change Advisory Board's recommendation of ME/CFS. However, since that time, the campaign has taken on a life of its own, as the use of ME/CFS in both the medical and patient communities is growing steadily. Therefore, we are shifting our focus from a vote to implementation of the name that is increasingly being recognized and accepted - ME/CFS - and moving forward with the guidance of respected patient leaders.
