=== Differences in symptoms between multiple sclerosis and ME/CFS === Ohanian et al. (2016) found that the following five symptoms were significantly more common in patients with ME/CFS compared to patients with multiple sclerosis, with mean scores reported as: # [[Flu-like symptoms]]: reported in 51 in ME/CFS patients, and 17 inMS patients # [[Swollen lymph nodes|Tender lymph nodes]]: 37 in ME/CFS patients, 8% in MS patients # [[Alcohol intolerance]]: 38 in ME/CFS patients, 9 in MS patients # [[orthostatic intolerance|Inability to tolerate upright position]] (orthostatic intolerance): 51 in ME/CFS patients, 16 in MS patients # [[post-exertional symptom exacerbation]] e.g., next-day soreness after non-strenuous activities: 75 in ME/CFS patients, 46 in MS patients The presence of just two immune-related symptoms ([[tender lymph nodes]] and [[flu-like symptoms]]), which are optional symptoms in [[ME/CFS]], was found to correctly classify around 80% of patients with [[ME/CFS]], who did not have MS.<ref name="Ohanian, 2016" />
