The Institute of Medicine on Tuesday proposed a new name and new diagnostic criteria for the condition that many still call chronic fatigue syndrome.
...
An institute panel recommended that the illness be renamed “systemic exertion intolerance disease,” a term that reflects what patients, clinicians and researchers all agree is a core symptom: a sustained depletion of energy after minimal activity, called postexertional malaise.

*** My take on it: Why don't they just call it what it is: SLOTHISM.
... and it is not a disease ... it is a predisposition!
Slothism is a perfectly normal state to be in when you are old!!!
Sloth: medium-sized mammal belonging the families Megalonychidae and Bradypodidae …
Scientific name: Folivora
Scientific name: Folivora
Daily sleep: 15 – 18 hours
*** If you ask me, hanging on to a tree limb all day long is exhausting
