Chronic Fatique Syndrome Causes Symptoms Information With Treatment by Juliet Cohen Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease that was first named in the 1980s. Even now, as increasing numbers of people are being diagnosed with CFS, many people inside and outside the health professions still doubt its existence or maintain that it's a psychological ailment. People previously healthy and full of energy may experience a variety of symptoms, including extreme fatigue, weakness and headaches as well as difficulty concentrating and painful joints, muscles and lymph nodes.

The illness can severely affect school, work, and leisure activities, and cause physical and emotional symptoms that can last for months or even years.
