Abstract Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), also called myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), is a challenge to physicians. CFS prevalence is below 1 % in a general population. There are no convincing models that might explain etiology and pathogenesis of CFS as an independent, unique disease. No consistent diagnostic criteria are available.

What Is Chronic Fatigue Syndrome? What Medicines Treat Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?

In this SSR, we explain that CFS, when accompanied by appropriate medical signs or laboratory findings, is an MDI that can be the basis for a finding of “disability.” We also explain how we evaluate CFS claims. CFS constitutes an MDI when accompanied by medical signs or laboratory findings, as discussed below. CFS may be a disabling impairment.
Sometimes it's abbreviated as ME/CFS. The cause of chronic fatigue syndrome is unknown, although there are many theories — ranging from viral infections to psychological stress. Some experts believe chronic fatigue syndrome might be triggered by a combination of factors. There's no single test to confirm a diagnosis of chronic fatigue syndrome.

Cochrane have announced that a new review to look at exercise therapies in chronic fatigue syndrome is to start in 2020. As with CBT, patient organisations have long criticised the use of exercise therapy, most notably GET, as a treatment for CFS. In 2012 the MEA commenced an opinion survey of patients who had received GET.
Comorbid conditions can occur in CFS which may interact with and exacerbate the symptoms of CFS. Appropriate medical intervention for these conditions may be beneficial. The most commonly diagnosed include: fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, depression, anxiety, as well as allergies and chemical sensitivities.
CFS can be difficult to diagnose. There is no specific test for CFS, and other illnesses can cause similar symptoms. Your health care provider has to rule out other diseases before making a diagnosis of CFS. He or she will do a thorough medical exam, including Asking about your current illness, including your symptoms.
