I thought this document was interesting enough. It certainly contains a lot of info over its four pages.

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS) Table of Biological Abnormalities, Clinical/Lab
Tests and Drugs with Potential for Repurposing
* A PATIENT-DRIVEN EFFORT * A WORK-IN-PROGRESS *

FDA has determined that ME and CFS is a serious disease or set of diseases for which there are no approved drug treatments. The following table, compiled by patients, lists the clinical abnormalities found in ME/CFS patients, examples of clinical abnormalities (symptoms and abnormal test results) that an ME/CFS patient might experience, examples of the clinical/lab tests that patients have had to confirm the abnormalities (i.e. potential diagnostic biomarkers), and examples of the kinds of drugs that patients have been prescribed off-label by doctors or used in clinical trials for ME/CFS, and thus have potential for repurposing for ME/CFS patients.
