Chronic fatigue syndrome
Originally called myalgic encephalomyelitis, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) was first described in a 1988 journal article. CFS is sometimes diagnosed as fibromyalgia or Epstein-Barr virus infection, which speaks to the complex and confusing nature of this condition. Though it does share symptoms with some definable diseases, the primary symptom of CFS is, as the name implies, an unrelenting tiredness and lack of energy that no amount of rest can fix. This fatigue can last for weeks or months, and sometimes be accompanied by vague pain. While some doctors are arguing about its validity as an illness, others are looking for better ways to diagnose it, as well as possible treatments.
