Chronic fatigue is a complex medical condition characterized by extreme and persistent tiredness, fatigue, or exhaustion that lasts for more than 6 months and is not improved by rest. The key thing to understand about chronic fatigue is that it is more than just regular tiredness - it is an abnormal, debilitating level of fatigue that interferes with normal everyday activities.
Some common symptoms of chronic fatigue include:
- Severe physical and mental exhaustion after even minor activity
- Sleep problems like insomnia or waking up unrefreshed
- Muscle pain
- Headaches
- Difficulty concentrating or remembering things ("brain fog")
- Sore throat, lymph nodes, or flu-like symptoms
The exact causes of chronic fatigue are still being researched, but some
contributing factors may include:
- Viral infections like Epstein-Barr or Ross River virus
- Immune system problems or inflammation
