Characteristics Quality of life of persons with CFS can be extremely

compromised. It causes feel so tired that one can’t complete normal, daily

activities. It has been assumed to be a chronic post-viral syndrome,

occurring after mononucleosis or influenza infection, or after infection with an intestinal virus.

The fatigue of CFS is not due to ongoing exertion, is not much relieved by rest, and is not due to any other medical condition.

bring on "extreme, prolonged exhaustion and sickness“ Unrefreshing sleep / muscle pain (myalgia) / pain in multiple

ridden and unable to care for themselves. Work, school, and family activities are significantly reduced

for extended periods of time. The severity disability is the same in both genders. It affects a person's functional status and well-being more
