Do I have ME/CFS?

This short educational checklist mirrors the 2015 IOM/NAM clinical criteria. It cannot diagnose you; it helps you discuss symptoms with a clinician.

Have symptoms substantially reduced your activity for ≥ 6 months?

Do you experience Post-Exertional Malaise (PEM) after minor physical/mental effort?

Do you have unrefreshing sleep (sleep doesn’t restore energy)?

Do you have cognitive impairment (e.g., brain fog) OR orthostatic intolerance (worse when upright)?

Answer all questions to see a summary based on the IOM criteria.
