      Its the new name for chronic fatigue. Myalgic encephalitis . They are trying to get it going in the medical field since it is taken more seriously then plain old cfs. Myalgic encephalitis is exactly what I have according to my symptoms.

    I couldn't do any estrogen. It made me feel like bursting out of my skin. Like it gave me too much energy. And heart pain and palps were my symptoms to begin with along with mecfs. You could try coconut oil for the dryness? I use it for everything! I try to do natural. Could you try black cohosh or soy products temporarily? Thats one thing i never experienced, unusually, but who knows i may get hit in a year or 2. I'm 55 now. I had an iud in up untill age 51. So had no periods for a few years. I think thathad something to do with my no menopause. ?? Good luck !
