My Journey with CFS
Nutrition. Love. Healing.
- Fatigue: Utter exhaustion, often to the point of collapse, totally different from the normal tiredness healthy people experience. Fatigue levels fluctuate over the day and are different from patient to patient
- Loss of memory or concentration: Poor short- and medium-term memory, mental confusion and mental fatigue; the brain seems to run out of steam. Difficulty concentrating, word-finding and thinking. Inability to plan. These symptoms together are commonly called 'brain fog'
- Sore throat
- Painful and mildly enlarged lymph nodes in neck or armpits
- Unexplained muscle soreness/aching: intense muscle and joint pain, especially in the lower limbs, which is usually difficult to relieve with standard painkillers.
- Pain that moves from one joint to another without swelling or redness
- Headache of a new type, pattern or severity
- Sleep disturbance
- Extreme exhaustion after normal exercise
- Low mood
