There is not a particular test for CFS/ME, so it's diagnosed primarily based on your symptoms and through ruling out other conditions that would be causing your signs and symptoms.

Your GP will ask about your signs and clinical history. You may also have blood and urine tests.

Because the signs of CFS/ME are much like those of many commonplace illnesses that generally get better on their own, a analysis of CFS/ME may be taken into consideration in case you do not get better as quickly as expected.

Treating CFS/ME

Treatment for CFS/ME aims to relieve the symptoms. Your remedy will depend upon how CFS/ME is affecting you.

Treatments consist of:

● Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)

● A dependent workout programme referred to as graded exercise remedy (GET)

● Medication to control ache, nausea and sleeping issues

The majority with CFS get better over the years, even though a few people don't make a full recovery. It is also probable there may be periods when your signs and symptoms get better or worse. Youngsters and younger people with CFS/ME are more likely to get better completely.
