Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS)

Four symptoms of ME/CFS: profound fatigue, worsening after activity, disrupted sleep, and brain fog.

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), also known as or myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) and rarer as systemic exertion intolerance disease (SEID), is a complicated disorder characterized by extreme fatigue that any underlying medical condition cannot explain. It causes profound exhaustion, along with severe cognitive "brain fog" and orthostatic intolerance. The fatigue may worsen with physical or mental activity, but does not improve with rest either. People who have CFS appear to be hypersensitive to even normal amounts of physical or mental exercise or activity.

People with CFS generally appear mentally exhausted and may have cognitive issues as the syndrome worsens.
