Chronic fatigue syndrome (sometimes just called CFS) is a complex condition that the medical community is still trying to define. It is characterized by profound fatigue that is not improved by bed rest and that may be made worse by physical or mental activity. Common symptoms include sore throat, tender lymph nodes, muscle pain, and insomnia. Currently, there is no cure, so treatment options for chronic fatigue syndrome include lifestyle changes, medications to relieve symptoms, and alternative therapies.
