== MCS in ME and ME/CFS == MCS has been described as a comorbidity of [[ME/CFS|myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome]] (ME/CFS) and [[fibromyalgia]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://ammes.org/overlapping-conditions/ | title =Overlapping Conditions – American ME and CFS Society|website=ammes.org|language=en-US|access-date=2018-08-12}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news | url=https://www.verywellhealth.com/fibromyalgia-comorbid-overlapping-conditions-716184 | title =Illness That Come Along with Fibromyalgia & Chronic Fatigue Syndrome | last =Dellwo | first = Adrienne|authorlink=Adrienne Dellwo| date = Feb 26, 2018|work=Verywell Health|access-date=2018-08-23|archive-url=|archive-date=|url-status=}}</ref> The [[Canadian Consensus Criteria]] for diagnosing ME/CFS lists "new sensitivities to food, medications and/or chemicals" as a symptom and lists "Multiple Chemical Sensitivities (MCS)" as a comorbidity. The [[International Consensus Criteria]] for diagnosing myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) lists "sensitivities to food, medications, odours or chemicals" as a symptom and lists "multiple chemical sensitivities" as a comorbidity. A 2019 publication of the U.S. ME/CFS Clinician Coalition lists "chemical sensitivity" as a symptom of ME/CFS and lists "Multiple Chemical Sensitivities" as a commonly comorbid condition.<ref>“Diagnosing and Treating ME/CFS” by the U.S. ME/CFS Clinician Coalition, August 2019. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SG7hlJTCSDrDHqvioPMq-cX-rgRKXjfk/view</ref> However, it is important to note that MCS has specific diagnostic criteria which do ''not'' include medication, food or odor sensitivities.<ref name="pmid10444033" /> Furthermore, some studies have differentiated odor sensitivity and chemical sensitivity as two separate phenomena.{{citation needed}} </div> ===Re: MCS in ME and ME/CFS -- ~~~~=== : Replace this text with your reply
