Diagnostic interview to check CFS symptoms

The interview is based on the Canadian consensus criteria.

Check the symptom list to see whether these symptoms have occurred to you.

Please note: ME / CFS usually has an acute onset, but it can also be gradual. But also in the early stages, a preliminary diagnosis can be made. The disorders generally form groups of symptoms that are often characteristic of the particular patient. Disease manifestations can fluctuate and change over time. It is always important to compare the condition with the patient’s baseline before the onset of collapse. The symptoms are typical of a massive regulatory disorder of the autonomic nervous system, with an overemphasis on the sympathetic and an underemphasis on the parasympathetic, and thus a disorder in the complex internal body information and control system.
