KEY RED FLAGS
FOR MILD-MODERATE
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS)
is a serious, multisystem neuroimmune disease. Early recognition and harm-prevention in primary care can prevent long-term deterioration.
This guide highlights practical red flags GPS can use to identify ME/CFS, recognise deterioration, and modify care.

Post Exertional Malaise (PEM)
Exertion intolerance with delayed crash after physical, cognitive, emotional, or sensory stimuli.

"Pushing through" patterns predict progressive functional decline.
Misdiagnosis Risk
Symptoms misattributed to mood and stress, FND, eating disorders.
Talk Test Failure
