• Have you heard about Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
  (CFS) and think that you might be suffering from
  it? If you want to know youre suffering from it
  or not, then answer these questions.
•  
• Do you have extreme chronic fatigue and
  exhaustion for six months or more?
• Is your memory or focus not as good as it used to
  be?
• Do you have a sore throat, tender lymph nodes,
  muscle pain, headaches, or loss of sleep?
•  
• If the answer of the above mentioned questions is
  yes, then theres a strong possibility that
  youre suffering from Chronic fatigue Syndrome.

• What Is Chronic Fatigue?
•  
• Chronic exhaustion disorder is a crippling health
  issue described as genuine weakness that wont go
  away even after getting proper rest and sleep, or
  by changing mindset. Some health practitioners
  often use three different names
• for chronic exhaustion
• Myalgic encephalomyelitis
• Post-viral fatigue syndrome
• Chronic fatigue immune dysfunction syndrome

• Symptoms Of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
•  
• The list of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome symptoms is
  really long. This is why only a few major
  symptoms can be discussed. There are many
  symptoms that patients are aware of and there are
  different signs that just specialists can notice.
  In any case, when the symptoms trouble a patient
  for a long time for no clear reason and dont
  subside with time, then Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
  is diagnosed quite often.

Since symptoms of CFS are so unclear and
nonspecific, it's tough for patients to clarify
their agony. They are regularly misunderstood or
judged by companions as lazy. Patients are then
compelled to live in agony and with the disgrace
of being considered as a person who is abnormally
anxious about their health. Due to modern
lifestyle, CFS has become quite common these days.

  Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?

  reason behind the occurrence of chronic fatigue
  syndrome is yet unknown. Actually, it's not only
  one trigger or cause, but it's a blend of various
  infectious mediums, mental and physiological, and
  numerous reasons.
• Low blood sugar

  systems

  to have CFS. These individuals used to be healthy
