Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), or myalgic encephalomyelitis, is diagnosed when a patient has extreme fatigue lasts at least six months, and isn’t due to another health condition.
The fatigue doesn’t improve with rest, and it typically worsens after any activity that requires mental or physical exertion. This type of fatigue makes it hard to perform even the simplest daily tasks like getting dressed in the morning.
While the cause of CFS hasn’t been determined, it may be triggered by a viral infection or an immune system dysfunction. In some cases, it develops after a period of physical stress, such as surgery. People with CFS often have abnormal blood levels of hormones.
Even though there’s no way to predict whether you’ll develop CFS, some people have a higher risk. CFS can occur at any age, but it commonly develops in a patient's 40s and 50s. Women are two to four times more likely to develop CFS than men.
In addition to fatigue and unrefreshing sleep, patients with CFS experience symptoms such as:
Your CFS symptoms may develop gradually over time or suddenly appear. They can come and go or last for years.
Treatment for CFS begins with a thorough examination and blood tests to rule out underlying health conditions and determine your blood levels of hormones and nutrients. Then our provider customizes your treatment plan to meet your specific health needs.
