Article Excerpts about Chronic fatigue syndrome
We all get tired. Many of
us at times have felt depressed. But the mystery known as chronic
fatigue syndrome (CFS) is not like the normal ups and downs we
experience in everyday life. The early sign of this illness is a
strong and noticeable fatigue that comes on suddenly and often comes
and goes or never stops. You feel too tired to do normal activities
or are easily exhausted with no apparent reason. Unlike the mind fog
of a serious hangover, to which researchers have compared CFS, the
profound weakness of CFS does not go away with a few good nights of
sleep. Instead, it slyly steals your energy and vigor over months
and sometimes years.
(Source: excerpt from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, NIAID Fact Sheet: NIAID)
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, or CFS, is characterized by persistent and
debilitating fatigue and additional nonspecific symptoms such as sore
throat, headache, tender muscles, joint pain, difficulty thinking and loss
of short-term memory. Initial symptoms mimic the flu: on physical
examination, patients may have nonspecific findings such as low-grade
fever and redness of the throat, but frequently no abnormalities are
found. No laboratory test or panel of tests is available to diagnose CFS
so the diagnosis is made solely on clinical grounds. The cause of CFS is
unknown. (Source: excerpt from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: NWHIC)
