all you need to know about syndron management syndronChronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), is a complex and debilitating disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. It is a chronic condition that causes extreme fatigue, limiting a person's ability to perform daily tasks, and can significantly impact their overall quality of life. CFS is a relatively recent discovery, and its controversies, elusive cause, and lack of definitive diagnosis and treatment have made it a challenging and misunderstood condition. The history of CFS dates back to the late 19th century, with sporadic reports of outbreaks of "chronic fatigue" in the medical literature. However, it was not until the 1930s that CFS gained more recognition when an outbreak of the illness occurred at a hospital in Los Angeles, which was later known as the "Royal Free outbreak." This outbreak involved more than 292 cases of fatigue that persisted for several weeks, accompanied by other symptoms, such as fever and abdominal pain. The hospital's medical staff initially thought this outbreak was caused by influenza, but the symptoms were not consistent with the flu. The outbreak was the first recorded incident of a post-infectious illness that would later become known as CFS. In the 1980s, there were a series of outbreaks of CFS-like symptoms that gained significant media attention and increased recognition worldwide.
