5 FACTS Chronic fatigue syndrome is three times more prevalent in women than in men and is most common in younger adults, with 90% of cases in the year age range. difficult to diagnose because its symptoms can vary from person to person and because symptoms closely resemble those of various other disorders such as the flu or other viral infections, hypochondria, psychosomatic illness, depression, and mononucleosis. In fact, the symptoms of CFS so closely mirror those of fibromyalgia (with up to 70% of patients diagnosed with FM having signs and symptoms matching a diagnosis of CFS) that the only real difference between the two is that the main diagnostic criteria for FM is the requirement for musculoskeletal pain while the main criteria for CFS is disabling fatigue lasting for at least 6 months.

6 Key points NICE 2007 CFS is real and defined as an illness, disease process not understood Relatively common- 40/10,000 patients in a practice diagnosis is clinical by exclusion Mx-key part- acknowledge the reality and impact of the condition - working in partnership with patient

8 CFS more. Symptoms are 1) Unexplained, persistent, or relapsing fatigue that is not a result of ongoing exertion, is new (not lifelong), is not alleviated by rest, and results in a substantial reduction in previous levels of occupational, social, or personal activity The CDC's definition of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (see above) is debated by many experts since it excludes or downplays many other symptoms (including many of the psychological symptoms) commonly manifested by those suffering from CFS. The chart below lists some of these symptoms as well as the rate at which they occur among CFS patients.

10 2.) The occurrence of four or more of the following symptoms that have persisted or recurred for 6 or more consecutive months and that do not predate the fatigue: Substantial impairment in short-term memory or concentration Sore throat Tender lymph nodes Muscle pain Multi-joint pain without swelling or redness Headaches of a new type, pattern, or severity Unrefreshing and/or interrupted sleep Post-exertional malaise lasting more than 24 hours Sensitivity to odors, noise, bright lights, medications, and various foods
