Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Introduction
As the name Chronic Fatigue Syndrome implies, one of the hallmark symptoms of this illness is fatigue, but it is not the kind of fatigue one experiences after a busy day, mild exertion, a sleepless night or a single, stressful event. It is a severe, incapacitating fatigue that is not improved by bed rest. It may worsen with physical or mental activity. It is an all-encompassing, life-altering fatigue that results in a dramatic decline in the patient's health, activity level and stamina. It dramatically changes his or her complete life!
Hopefully, if you're here to inquire about Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), most likely you believe that CFS exists, you suspect you or someone you care about have it and you’re worried, or you feel certain that you have it and you need some real help. However, because of CFS’s complicated and varied nature, it’s common for people to misunderstand the illness and the people who have it.

Note: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is also known as Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome or CFIDS in the United States. It is often referred to Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) in other countries. There is a movement to change the name of the illness and make it more uniform. For simplicity sake at Get Well Health, we will refer to it as CFS.
