25 Signs You Could Have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
What is Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, also known as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS) or Systemic Exertion Intolerance Disease (SEID) affects approximately 2.5 million Americans. It’s a disorder that is complicated to diagnose and frustrating to live with. In a nutshell, ME/CFS is characterized by extreme fatigue that can’t be explained by a traditional medical disease. One of the key differentials is when the fatigue gets worse with exercise or physical activity.
The medical community does not have a specific test to confirm a diagnosis. Diagnosis may come from a variety of bloodwork, tests, and ruling out other health issues. Many who have ME/CFS may be bedridden, especially after physical activity. While fatigue is the main complaint, there are other symptoms that may coexist.
