Doctor's Answer

Rochelle,
Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disorder characterized by fatigue lasting months to years, typically following a viral illness. CFS also has been associated with muscle aches, memory problems and trouble concentrating. This syndrome remains very controversial in the medical community as a discrete entity. CFS may be a depressive syndrome with somatization(ie manifesting psychological symptoms via bodily complaints). I hope this was helpful.
Sincerely,
HFHS MD-JM
