The American Institute Of Medicine have provided the most recent diagnosis criteria which are quite useful as they do not exclude also having another medical condition.

The committee recommended that physicians diagnose ME/CFS if the diagnostic criteria are met following an appropriate history, physical examination, and medical work-up.

Diagnosis of ME/CFS requires that a patient have the following three core symptoms:

1) A substantial reduction or impairment in the ability to engage in pre-illness levels of activities that persists for more than six months and is accompanied by fatigue—which is often profound—of new or definite onset, not the result of ongoing excessive exertion and not substantially alleviated by rest

2) The worsening of patients' symptoms after any type of exertion—such as physical, cognitive, or emotional stress—known as post-exertional malaise

3) Unrefreshing sleep

At least one of the two following manifestations is also required:

Cognitive impairment

The inability to remain upright with symptoms that improve when lying down—known as orthostatic intolerance

These symptoms should persist for at least six months and be present at least half the time with moderate, substantial, or severe intensity to distinguish ME/CFS from other diseases.

Trust yourself with what your own body says a diagnosis was years after I had all the signs.

Oh it must be a scary time for you, or maybe like me you feel glad to be diagnosed. It must be hard going with crohns aswell.

With M.E each case is unique..

Some worse than others keep hope that you can improve

There are many symptoms across the board
