The disease of chronic fatigue syndrome or simply CFS, was for the first time identified in the 1980s, but still now the cause of the disease is very hard to determine. In the true sense the disease is comprised of several symptoms and discomforts. In short, it is a significant fatigue syndrome for a period of more than six months but not related to exertion or lack of sleep and associated with other symptoms. As far as the patient is concerned, he/she gets affected with syndrome of acute lack of energy, frequent headaches, sore joints, lymph nodes with a great trouble in concentrating.

Chronic fatigue syndrome is an immune disorder whose origins are not known. Several viruses are suspected to cause chronic fatigue syndrome, but none can be determined to certainty. Therefore, there is no treatment available but rather treatment for the symptoms the disorder causes. Chronic fatigue syndrome is characterized by an unusual tiredness lasting for at least six months and in which rest does not help, and no other medical reason for the fatigue exists.
