Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Everything To Know

About

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a debilitating disorder characterized by extreme fatigue or tiredness.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have suggested that CFS may be the end stage of multiple different conditions, rather than one unique condition.(1)

- Not self-diagnosable
- Requires laboratory tests and image testing
- Commonly occurs in women

CFS may occur because of environmental or genetic factors. The main symptom is fatigue for over 6 months. The fatigue often worsens with activity but does not improve with rest. People with CFS appear to be hypersensitive to even normal amounts of exercise and activity.

Age affected: between 6-18 - rare; between 19-40 - most often; above 40 - often.
