Appointment prep
Prepare for an ME/CFS or post-viral fatigue evaluation
Profound fatigue, post-exertional malaise, and cognitive dysfunction are frequently dismissed as deconditioning or depression. Medvo helps you document the crash pattern, pacing requirements, and requests for appropriate investigation.
Symptoms patients describe
- · Crushing fatigue not improved by rest
- · Post-exertional malaise (PEM) lasting 24–72+ hours
- · Unrefreshing sleep, orthostatic intolerance, and brain fog
Tests & referrals to request
Framed as evaluation — your clinician decides what is appropriate.
- · Detailed documentation of PEM and pre/post illness function
- · Referral to ME/CFS or post-viral specialist clinic
- · Sleep study, cardiopulmonary exercise testing, or orthostatic evaluation as indicated
If you've been dismissed
- · Told to 'just exercise' or push through despite crashes
- · Symptoms attributed to anxiety or 'all in your head' without workup
