Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), which is sometimes referred to as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), is different to everyday tiredness. It causes persistent fatigue and a feeling of being generally unwell, which can result in severe impairments to daily functioning, and does not improve with sleep or rest. It can affect anyone, but is more common in women and tends to develop between the mid-20s and mid-40s.
