Overview

Physical examination

  • People with CFS function at a significantly lower level of activity than they were capable of prior to becoming ill. The illness results in a substantial reduction in occupational, personal, social or educational activities.
  • A CFS diagnosis should be considered in patients who present with six months or more of unexplained fatigue accompanied by other characteristic symptoms. These signs include:
  • impaired cognitive dysfunction,
  • tender cervical or axillary lymph nodes
