Talk:List of symptoms in ME CFS

Symptoms Do NOT Correlate With Criteria
If one looks at the Canadian Consensus Criteria (CCC) MEpedia page you will see that the symptoms under the criteria do not match the symptoms on this List of symptoms in ME/CFS MEpedia page. Orthostatic intolerance seems to be missing altogether on this list page as well as other symptoms AND there seem to be symptoms listed on this page not listed on the CCC page. (Perhaps these symptoms are on the referenced/cited clinical information/research on the CCC MEpedia page but, if they are they should be listed on the CCC MEpedia page.) I'm not saying they aren't symptoms, but the heading says Canadian Consensus Criteria so, it should be LISTED on the CCC page and if on the CCC page should be on this list page.

Additionally, the International Consensus Criteria (ICC) symptoms are basically the criteria copy and pasted, which is fine but it is different from how the CCC symptoms are set up. I think the entire page needs to be reworked.

Systemic Exertion Intolerance Disease (SEID) isn't even listed.

Each of these pages needs to be double checked as this is where the symptoms are being pulled from.

See all: "List of symptoms in ME CFS/Canadian/XXXXXXXXXXXXX" on the Category:Signs and symptoms page. https://www.me-pedia.org/wiki/Category:Signs_and_symptoms


 * ===Symptoms vs Diagnostic criteria===
 * This page is not a repeat of diagnostic criteria but a more complete list of symptoms. For instance orthostatic intolerance (from the diagnostic criteria) is broken down into multiple types and symptoms in the Appendix signs and symptoms (e.g. NMH and POTS).

The list comes from Appendix 4 of the Canadian Consensus Criteria. Explanation and link to CCC diagnostic criteria have been added now.

Pediatric ICC symptoms remain missing.

SEID
The page is for ME/CFS symptoms, not SEID symptoms. The idea being that it will be found when searching for less common symptoms. SEID can be included but the page should be renamed. Although the United States has adopted SEID criteria it is not clear if other countries will follow and if/when research will began to use the SEID criteria.

SEID diagnostic criteria belong on three SEID page in my vote. If the page is renamed to include SEID symptoms then should it just include the SEID symptoms not in either the ICC or CCC symptom lists?

Use of templates and bullet points
This page includes/transcludes Templates that contain lists of symptoms. Sometimes, the included/transcluded Template comes with bullet points, and sometimes the included/transcluded Template is a comma-separated list of items. A standard needs to be chosen here. I suggest the comma-separated list, as the bullet points can trigger indentation and bulleting problems in the pages that include/transclude the Template. If one really wants to list symptoms in bullet-point format, then perhaps the idea of included/transcluded Templates needs to be discarded, as it is hard to maintain, and doesn't really save any typing.
