CFS is a debilitating and complex disorder characterized by profound fatigue that is not improved by bed rest and that may be worsened by physical or mental activity. Symptoms affect several body systems and may include muscle or joint pain, impaired memory or mental concentration, and insomnia, which can result in reduced participation in daily activities. In some cases, CFS can persist for years.
