What is it?
If you feel fatigue and it is not easily remedied and lasts for 6 months, this could point to CFS. There is a combination of factors such as prolonged stressful situations which can create reactions that is often miss-diagnosed as Depression.

Have I got it?
There are no tests for CFS but a doctor will base their decision on the following:
• Fatigue is a principal symptom
• It had a definite onset, and it is not life long
• It is severe, disabling and affects mental and physical functioning
• It has been present for at least 6 months and for 50 percent of the time.
