Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a debilitating illness that various factors can cause. It’s not the same as depression or anxiety, but people with CFS often suffer from both. CFS patients often experience heat intolerance. This means that they cannot tolerate warm or hot temperatures even when others would find them comfortable.
The primary symptom of CFS is extreme fatigue, which may accompany muscle pain and soreness, sleep problems, and cognitive issues such as difficulty concentrating and remembering things.
CFS patients may also find that their symptoms worsen after physical activity. For example, they may experience post-exertional malaise, meaning they feel worse than before the action begins. This can be described as feeling exhausted or having flu-like symptoms after mild exertion.
