Brief summary of the request

Would it be possible to have a specific Snomed code for ME Myalgic Encephalitis?

Description of the addition or change

There is no specific code for adding to medical records relating to ME, only Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.  This can be distressing for patients if the records are incorrect.
Can you please advise if this is possible?
Many thanks
Hannah Bullock
