No, they are totally unrelated. ME (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) is a multisystemic disease, i.e., it affects many organs. Although there is a long list of symptoms, the main problems with this condition are a slowed down production of energy due to mitochondria dysfunctions, and cognitive problems. Mitochondria is found inside every cells of the body, brain included, therefore thought process also becomes difficult: concentration is impaired, the creation of new memories is affected, an memory retrieval is also impaired, mostly in word retrieval. In ME, everthing is slowed down, and it creates problems at many levels, digestion is another important one. There is a very comprehensive website on the subject if you would like to read more about it, here is:
