Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Centers for Disease Control and Prevention http://www.cdc.gov/cfs/"Chronic fatigue syndrome, or CFS, is a debilitating and complex disorder characterized by profound fatigue that is not improved by bed rest and that may be worsened by physical or mental activity.

. . Chronic fatigue syndrome From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_fatigue_syndrome This article is about the medical condition Chronic fatigue syndrome. For the symptom chronic fatigue, see Fatigue (medical). Chronic fatigue syndrome Classification and external resources ICD-10 G93.3 ICD-9 780.71 DiseasesDB 1645 MedlinePlus 001244 eMedicine med/3392 ped/2795 MeSH D015673Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is the most common name[1] used to specify a medical disorder or group of disorders[2] generally defined by persistent fatigue accompanied by other specific symptoms for a minimum of six months, not due to ongoing exertion, not substantially relieved by rest, nor caused by other medical conditions.[3] The disorder may also be referred to as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), post-viral fatigue syndrome (PVFS), or several other terms. Although classified by the World Health Organization under Diseases of the nervous system,[4] the etiology (cause or origin) of CFS is unknown, and multiple psychological and physiological factors may contribute to the development and maintenance of symptoms.[5][6] There is no diagnostic laboratory test or biomarker for CFS.[3]
Symptoms of CFS include post-exertional malaise; unrefreshing sleep; widespread muscle and joint pain; sore throat; cognitive difficulties; chronic, often severe, mental and physical exhaustion; and other characteristic symptoms in a previously healthy and active person. Persons with CFS may report additional symptoms including muscle weakness, increased sensitivity to light, sounds and smells, orthostatic intolerance, digestive disturbances, depression, and cardiac and respiratory problems.[7] It is unclear if these symptoms represent co-morbid conditions or are produced by an underlying etiology of CFS.[5]
Fatigue is a common symptom in many illnesses, but CFS is comparatively rare.[8] Estimates of CFS prevalence vary widely,[8] from 7 to 3,000 cases of CFS for every 100,000 adults,[5] but national health organizations have estimated more than 1 million Americans and approximately a quarter of a million people in the UK have CFS.[9][10] CFS occurs more often in women than men,[11][12] and is less prevalent among children and adolescents.[9] The quality of life is "particularly and uniquely disrupted" in CFS.[13]
There is agreement on the genuine threat to health, happiness and productivity posed by CFS, but various physicians' groups, researchers and patient advocates promote different nomenclature, diagnostic criteria, etiologic hypotheses and treatments, resulting in controversy about many aspects of the disorder. The name CFS itself is controversial as many patients and advocacy groups, as well as some experts, want the name changed as they believe that it stigmatizes by not conveying the seriousness of the illness.[14]

CFS is a state of chronic fatigue that exists without other explanation for six months or more and is accompanied by cognitive difficulties (problems with short-term memory or concentration). You may have CFS if you meet the following criteria:
if you have severe chronic fatigue for six months or longer and all other known conditions that could cause fatigue have been excluded by your health-care provider, or if you simultaneously have four or more of the following symptoms: significant problems with short-term memory or concentration, sore throat, tender lymph nodes, muscle pain, pain in several joints without swelling or redness, headaches that are different in pattern or severity from previous headaches, feeling tired and unrefreshed even after sleeping, and extreme tiredness lasting more than 24 hours after you exercise or exert yourself.
Chronic fatigue syndrome affects tens of thousands of people. It occurs more commonly in females than in males. This condition occurs most commonly in young to middle-aged adults. People with CFS are often unable to perform normally at work and home because of their long-term fatigue and problems with short-term memory. This can lead to depression, but depression is not a cause of CFS."
