First and foremost, CFS makes you feel overwhelmingly tired, and you don’t feel refreshed no matter how much sleep you get. Your body’s weak, and you can barely stand up without help. Nothing can pull you out of your free-fall —not sleep, not exercise, and not staying away from sugar. You’re eternally exhausted.
Clearly, this overwhelming exhaustion isn’t your everyday fatigue, the fatigue most people feel after a busy week, a sleepless night, pulling an all-nighter, or stuffing themselves full of Thanksgiving turkey and mounds of mashed potatoes.
When is fatigue not CFS? When it goes away after a good night’s sleep, after boarding a plane for a Caribbean vacation, or after you’ve shaken a bad flu. CFS is a complicated condition — and it doesn’t go away that easily. In the following sections, you can see the difference between fatigue and being tired, as well as find out how doctors are trying to narrow the definition of fatigue.
