What Is Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a condition characterized by extended and severe tiredness or weariness (fatigue) that is not relieved by rest and has no apparent cause.
Symptoms of CFS are quite similar to those experienced in relation to many of the common viral infections – for example, muscle aches, headache, and fatigue.
At Distinct Health Solutions, we have treated numerous people with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome successfully. The key to treatment is to determine the underlying root cause that is contributing to the decreased function of the body’s metabolism.
Common causes include:

Viral infection

Identifying and addressing the underlying issue is the first step toward effectively treating CFS.
