Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), also called myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), is a long-term condition that results in a decreased ability to do activities, tiredness worsened by activity, unrefreshing sleep, and cognitive problems.[3][4] These symptoms are a worsening from before the onset; though may be variable over time.[4][12] Pain is also often present.[4] Symptom may be to such a degree that a person is unable to leave bed.[1]

The cause is unclear; though a combination of factors is believed to be involved.[7] Proposed mechanisms include infections, immune system changes, hormonal changes, metabolic changes, and genetics.[6] Diagnosis is based on symptoms of greater than 3 or 6 months, that are not due to another condition.[3][4]

There is no cure or specific treatment; efforts are aimed at improving symptoms.[9] Pacing, also known as personal activity management, may help with worsening of symptoms after activity.[9][3] Counseling may help with certain aspects of the condition.[9] Graded exercise therapy is not recommended as of 2021.[3] Those affected may have problems working, going to school, and being involved with social life.[1] While some improve over time, others become disabled for an extended period.[10][13]

Chronic fatigue syndrome affects about 0.9% of people.[11][14] About 0.8 to 2.5 million people were estimated to be affected in the United States as of 2015.[5] Those between the ages 40 and 60 years are most commonly affected; with women affected 1.5 to 4 times as often as men.[11][5] It; however, can occur at other ages, including in up to 0.2% of child.[15] The condition has been described since at least the 1930s.[8] It was named "benign myalgic encephalomyelitis" is the 1950s while the term "chronic fatigue syndrome" was introduced in the 1980s.[16][17] The two terms were than combined in 2003.[17]
