ME/CFS Subtypes — A Classical Reading of Different Chronic Fatigue Patterns
Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is heterogeneous — patients differ substantially in triggers, symptom pattern, and course. The classical framework identifies recognisable subtypes with different implications for supportive treatment. At Nature’s Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture Clinic in Belmont (Perth) and Geraldton, Dr. Yang works with ME/CFS patients alongside medical management.
Common Symptom Pattern
- ✓ Post-viral onset (Post-infectious subtype)
- ✓ Prominent autonomic/POTS features (Autonomic subtype)
- ✓ Widespread pain with fibromyalgia overlap (Pain subtype)
