A new name for ME/CFS from the Institue of Medicine: SEID

A new report published on February 10th, 2015 by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) has established a new name for ME/CFS and recommendations for new criteria on how to diagnose it. The new name, systemic exertion intolerance disease or SEID, is currently being debated by the ME/CFS community.
