Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
(C.F.S)

The major symptoms of C.F.S. is a new servere fatigue that last at least 6 months and does not improve with rest. The fatigue must be servere enough to interfer with daily routines... such as work or social  and Recreational activities. The onset of C.F.S. can be sunnely over a period of 24 to 48 hours or it may develop gradually over weeks or months.

People who have C.F.S. may also have long term symptoms such as....

  • Forgetfulness, memory loss, confusion, or difficulty concentrating.
  • Sore throat.
  • Tender lymph nodes in the neck or armpits.
  • Muscle pain.
  • Joint pain without redness or swelling.
  • New headaches.
  • Unrefreshing sleep (waking up feeling tired or unrested).
  • Fatigue that lasts more than 24 hours after exercise or exertion at a level that you were able to do in the past without fatigue.

To be diagnosed with CFS, you must have at least 4 of the 8 symptoms listed above in addition to fatigue. At least 4 of the symptoms must have started at the same time as or after the fatigue started, and they must have lasted for at least 6 months. However, if you have persistent, unexplained fatigue and other typical CFS symptoms but do not quite meet these criteria (for instance, if you have had symptoms for less than 6 months), you may still be presumed to have chronic fatigue syndrome, and you may need treatment.Please see your Doctor... for treatment.

On these pages I have listed some great advice on coping with C.F.S. These are only suggestions... under no circumstances would these pages replace seeking medical treatment and advice from your family doctor.


(CFS robs us of these feelings... this is what I want back the most)

Joy from the Surprises of Life

Into all our lives, in many simple, familiar homely ways, God infuses this element of joy from the surprises of life, which unexpectedly brighten our days, and fill our eyes with light. He drops this added sweetness into his children's cup, and makes it to run over. The success we are not counting on, the blessing we were not trying after, the strain of music in the midst of drudgery, the beautiful morning picture or sunset glory thrown in as we pass to or from our daily business, the unsought word of encouragement or expression of sympathy, the sentence that meant for us more than a writer or speaker thought--these and a hundred others that everyone's experience can supply are instances of what I mean.

--- Samuel Longfellow
