In addition to the eight primary defining symptoms of CFS, a number of other symptoms have been reported by some CFS patients. The frequency of occurrence of These symptoms vary among patients. These symptoms include:
• Irritable bowel, abdominal pain,
• Nausea, Diarrhoea or bloating
• Chills and night sweats
• Brain fag
• Chest pain
• Shortness of breath
• Chronic cough
• Visual disturbances (blurring, sensitivity to light, eye pain or dry eyes)
• Allergies or sensitivities to foods, alcohol, odors, chemicals, medications or noise
• Difficulty maintaining upright position (Orthostatic instability, irregular
Heartbeat, dizziness, balance problems or fainting) Psychological problems (depression, irritability, mood swings, anxiety, and panic attacks) jaw pain weight loss or gain
The severity of CFS varies from patient to patient. Some can maintain comparatively active lives. CFS significantly limits day to day activities.
Majority of the patients of CFS patients are functionally impaired to some degree. Researches show that CFS can be as disabling as Multiple Sclerosis, Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, heart disease, end-stage renal disease, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and similar chronic conditions.
There are scanty researches regarding the percentage of CFS patients who recover. There is some evidence to indicate that the sooner symptom management begins, the better the chance of a positive recovery. This means early detection and
TREATMENTS are of utmost importance. Researches indicates that delays in
DIAGNOSIS and TREATMENT may complicate and prolong the clinical course of the illness.

CFS often follows a variable course. There are intervals of illness and relative well-being. Some patients experience partial or complete remission of symptoms during the course of the illness, but symptoms generally comes back. Such zig-zag or variable occurrence of symptoms makes CFS especially hard for patients and their health care professionals to manage. When patients are feeling better they overdo some of their activities. Such an overenthusiastic gesture ultimately worsens the sufferings and tiredness. In fact, postexertional malaise is a very prominent feature of this illness.
