You know when you’re exhausted, and you usually know why. You’ve been sick. You’re burning the candle at both ends. Emotional tensions or financial problems are stealing your mojo. Your boss is overbearing. Maybe you’re exercising too much. A good night’s sleep, a multivitamin, a day or two off the treadmill, or a couple of weeks on the beach is all you need to recharge your batteries and start feeling like yourself.
However, the most sinister aspect of CFS is that despite how tired you are, nothing you do or don’t do makes you feel any better. The tiredness is like some voodoo curse that destines you to an eternity of restless sleep that doesn’t leave you feeling at all refreshed, but instead, you may have low energy, a depressed mood, and even short-term memory loss. CFS is more of an erosion of health and spirit than a temporary bout of the blues that you can cure with a little R&R.
In addition, CFS fatigue often deepens with exercise, and you can’t even attain some temporary solace with a full night’s sleep — you awaken as tired and sometimes more tired than when you went to bed!
If you do have CFS, the fatigue you experience lasts for six months or more. The level of fatigue may ebb and flow slightly, especially if you have gradual onset CFS, but you never feel energized or refreshed.
