Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is a condition that causes fatigue severe enough to interfere with a person's normal life. The main features are an overwhelming feeling of fatigue that follows any form of physical exertion along with problems involving memory and concentration. There are clear links with clinical depression, but the main focus of symptoms is physical rather than psychological. Some common symptoms are;
- muscle pain / twitching
- joint pain often without swelling or tenderness
- flu-like symptoms
- headaches/migraine
- balance problems
- unrefreshing sleep pattern
- sore throats
- glands enlarged
- intolerance of extremes in temperature
- intolerance of alcohol
- low blood pressure
- sensitivity to bright lights
- sensitivity to loud noises
