Diagnostics

In addition to the main characteristics of ME/CFS, such as PEM and chronic fatigue, many sufferers also experience various comorbidities. These additional conditions can exacerbate the symptoms of ME/CFS and complicate diagnosis and treatment. The most common comorbidities include postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), small fibre neuropathy (SFN), mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS).

ME/CFS is often accompanied by other conditions. Early detection and possible treatment can improve the health and quality of life of those affected by ME/CFS.

Comorbidities are accompanying illnesses that can occur alongside chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). Adequate treatment of these comorbidities can improve patients' health.
