The new resource paper for diagnosing and treating ME included a section on comorbid conditions that should be identified and treated. One of the conditions is 'new or worsened allergies'. I was allergy-free until a year or two before my ME triggered into full-blown symptoms. I thought it might just be a normal aspect of ageing (I was around 38 then). However, now I'm wondering if people with the predisposition to develop ME develop some other health issues before the ME fully triggers. I know it's really hard to clearly identify a direct link to ME, and it's fairly easy to mistake coincidences as real links, but I think it's worth thinking about.
So, did you develop any surprising new medical problems within a few years before your ME fully triggered? Ignore anything that had a clear cause, such as chemical or radiation exposure or microbial infection, or hereditary predisposition. I'm asking about the head-scratching "Why did I develop that?" type of condition.
