Always Tired? Signs and Symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome"

"
These periods of fatigue disappear unexpectedly (remission) and reappear with little cause (relapse). This impedes your quality of life and affects your daily routine.

Long recovery periods post-workout
A good workout will leave you tired and ready for recovery. However, it shouldn’t leave you exhausted for 24 hours — unless you suffer from CFS."

"ME/CFS is categorized as a central sensitivity syndrome."

However, if you find yourself constantly exhausted, there’s a chance that you have chronic fatigue syndrome. CFS, also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis, is difficult to diagnose.

Or it could be loads of other entirely treatable things.....

These periods of fatigue disappear unexpectedly (remission) and reappear with little cause (relapse). This impedes your quality of life and affects your daily routine.

They make it sound like remissions occur all the time!!! We wish!

FFS!!! (and for once that isn't a typo-I don't mean FSS)
