Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic Fatigue SYndrome or Myalgic Encepholopathy is described by the Centre for Disease Control in America as 

'1) Have severe chronic fatigue of six months or longer duration with 
other known medical conditions excluded by clinical diagnosis; and 2)  
concurrently have four or more of the following symptoms: substantial 
impairment in short-term memory or concentration; sore throat; tender 
lymph nodes; muscle pain; multi-joint pain without swelling or redness; 
headaches of a new type, pattern or severity; unrefreshing sleep; and 
post-exertional malaise lasting more than 24 hours. The symptoms must 
have persisted or recurred during six or more consecutive months of 
illness and must not have predated the fatigue. '

I have been suffering from CFS/ME since August 1999.
