Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is a complex disorder characterized by severe, ongoing fatigue that isn't relieved by rest and worsens with physical or mental activity. It often includes symptoms like sleep problems, muscle and joint pain, headaches, and difficulty concentrating. The exact cause is unknown, but it may involve immune system disruptions, infections, or stress. CFS can significantly impact daily life, making activities challenging, and lacks a definitive test, so diagnosis is made by ruling out other conditions. Management focuses on symptom relief through lifestyle adjustments, pacing, and supportive care.
