That might be why its labeled a syndrome. In medicine, syndrome vs disease is exactly the distinction you're making.
Syndrome refers to a set of symptoms, whereas disease is both a definite pathological process plus a set of symptoms caused by it.

Title for post should be “Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Initiative”
No, actually ME was the old name which was coined in the 1950s. It was eventually dropped in favour of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in the 1990s when it was realised that there typically wasn't brain inflammation, and there wasn't always myalgia.
The term ME was resurrected recently because it is more appealing to some patients, implying a more severe and physical illness.
It is a little confusing that they use the term neuroinflammation for something that isn't really inflammation.
