Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

📋Overview

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is a complex, long-term illness that affects multiple body systems and is characterized by extreme fatigue. This condition typically involves exhaustion that does not improve with rest and may intensify significantly following physical or mental activity.

Clinical diagnosis is established based on specific criteria after other potential medical conditions have been excluded. The illness can result in a significant reduction in a person's ability to participate in daily activities and can affect individuals of any age or background.
