Part caught my eye:

“Fatigue is a very common symptom with a wide variety of causes,” so ruling out other conditions is crucial, says Joseph R. Berger, MD, a professor of neurology at the Perelman School of Medicine of the University of Pennsylvania, an expert in neuro-immunology and neurovirology, and a Fellow of the American Academy of Neurology (FAAN). In a study published in the Multiple Sclerosis Journal in 2013, Dr. Berger reviewed the medical histories of thousands of people who were ultimately diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) and found that one out of three was first diagnosed with CFS or general fatigue in the two to three years before they developed clinical MS. He believes that finding should serve as a warning to doctors against jumping to conclusions if they can't find an immediate organic cause for a patient's fatigue.

A third are taken seriously with neuro condition MS eventually keeping two thirds in CFS group because American health insurance companies are against a neuro diagnosis and the increased payments as I understand things.
