Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

What is Chronic Fatigue Syndrome? What are the symptoms of chronic fatigue?

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is a multifaceted disorder. It has many possible causes and often more than one of these causes will contribute to the overwhelming sense of fatigue in any one sufferer.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome causes severe physical and psychological or mental exhaustion - it arises in a previously healthy and active person. There are also other symptoms that commonly go along with those of the chronic fatigue.

Most chronic fatigue syndrome cases start after a period of stress in the year before although many also have a history of a recent viral illness.

A huge amount of research has been carried out but still no one clear cause has been found to link all cases. It might be the case that the actual chronic fatigue syndrome has more than one possible underlying cause.
