@colleenyoung ,
Yes, several years ago, when it was my first attempt to get a Mayo appointment. I followed up with a phone call to an appointment coordinator. She basically told me they were not accepting patients that had a primary symptom of "chronic fatigue". I don't know if much has changed but I did read @webdog's post about how Mayo had not followed the CDC guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of ME/CFS. That was 3 years ago. Does anyone have updates on this issue?

Mayo Clinic follows CDC guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of ME/CFS. I had the opportunity to listen to a talk by specialist in ME/CFS at Mayo Clinic, who reaffirmed this when I posed the question during the Q&A.

It is possible that appointments are not available sometimes. Unfortunately Mayo Clinic receives more requests for appointments than available openings. This doesn't mean you shouldn't try again.
