Undiagnosed Illnesses Cause Widespread Exhaustion

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis, is a poorly understood condition affecting about 3.3 million Americans, characterized by severe fatigue, sleep issues, and cognitive problems, often triggered by infections or stressors. It is frequently misdiagnosed due to the lack of specific tests, but new AI research shows promise for better detection. Treatment involves managing symptoms through lifestyle changes, therapies, and medications, with ongoing research seeking more effective solutions.
