CFS

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), also known as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME), is a complex disorder characterized by persistent and unexplained fatigue that doesn't improve with rest. It often includes symptoms like muscle or joint pain, sleep issues, brain fog, and difficulty concentrating. The exact cause is unknown, and it can significantly impact daily life. CFS is diagnosed based on symptoms and ruling out other conditions. While there’s no specific cure, management focuses on alleviating symptoms through lifestyle changes, pacing activities, and sometimes medication. Researchers continue to study its causes and effective treatments.
