Chronic fatigue is a complex medical condition characterized by extreme and persistent feelings of tiredness, exhaustion, and lack of energy that lasts for more than 6 months and is not improved by rest. The key defining symptoms are fatigue, weakness, muscle pain, headaches, poor memory and concentration, sore throat, and tender lymph nodes. While the exact causes are unknown, researchers believe chronic fatigue may be triggered by viral infections, immune system dysfunction, hormonal imbalances, or psychological stress. Risk factors include female gender, genetic predisposition, co-existing medical conditions, and trauma. Diagnosis primarily involves ruling out other medical conditions with similar symptoms through blood tests, imaging scans and a thorough case history. As there are no definitive diagnostic tests or biomarkers, diagnosis is mainly based on evaluation of symptoms. Treatment focuses on symptom management through lifestyle changes like pacing activities, stress reduction, dietary adjustments, and gentle exercises like yoga and walking. Medications like antidepressants, sleep aids, pain relievers and low-dose hormone replacement may provide relief in some cases. While not curable, many patients see improvement in symptoms and quality of life with time and proper management. Researchers are working on more targeted treatments by better understanding the biology of this frustrating condition.
