Everyone gets fatigued or tired at times – it's a perfectly normal part of human life. But, for people with ME/CFS, fatigue, and lack of energy, can be overwhelming and cause significant functional impairment. It's important to define what we mean by fatigue and fatiguability in ME/CFS and the way in which it differs from the ‘chronic fatigue' that occurs in a wide range of medical and psychiatric illnesses.
Topics discussed in this leaflet include: Fatigue and fatiguability in ME/CFS, What is fatigue? What causes fatigue in ME/CFS? What has the research told us? Can ME/CFS fatigue be treated with drugs? Self-help management options, the pros and cons of cognitive behavioural therapy and graded exercise therapy, Additional information.
