Brief History of ME Handout
​English  Spanish

An origin of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis
The Clinical Syndrome Variously Called Benign Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, Iceland Disease and Epidemic Neuromyasthenia
by  E.D. Acheson, D.M., M.R.C.P. (1959)

​"It is concluded that the disease is recognizable in its epidemic form on clinical and epidemiologic grounds and therefore may properly be considered a clinical entity.  In its sporadic form, which is now well documented, the diagnosis should be reserved at present for severe cases with definite neurological signs including paresis* and the characteristic fluctuating course.  The disease is probably due to infection by an unknown agent or group of related agents."  

*Paresis: a condition of muscular weakness caused by
nerve damage or disease; partial paralysis
