Some of the people who have arachidonic acid issues are salicylate sensitive. However this is not reliable. The doc who was researching this was shut down because, quote "There is no treatment for CFS." So the research was never completed. So the only way to find out is to try it and see, the Lemon Rule. If you suck it and its sweet, great.. If its a sour lemon then time to find another treatment. What he was in favour of though, from patents who responded, was one day a week fasting.
LPS issues require a blood test. However this is still very much experimental.
OI can be found with a tilt table test if its done right.
Many ME and CFS patients do better on low dose cortisol. You can measure cortisol, but even if there is no big issue only trying it is sure. Please note this is LOW dose cortisol, not cortisol doses used for immune suppression. Many docs are wary of going this route though, because they confuse the effects (or simply don't know) of low dose and high dose protocols.
Sadly we still don't know enough.
