Fatigue Syndrome : An Overview
Chronic fatigue syndrome is a condition of
debilitating fatigue that produces severe distress apart from interfering with
working as well as daily activities. It is not a single disease, but a

recurred a few times over a period of six months, it should not be a result of
a specific medical cause, and is associated with a number of symptoms like
headaches, sore throat, muscle ache, joint pains, sleep disturbances,
tenderness in lymph nodes and mood and sleep disturbances.
