A complicated disease, misunderstood by most, there are thousands of patients here in the UK and millions across the world who suffer on a daily basis from this debilitating disease. Many patients go without being diagnosed and other patients have been wrongly diagnosed with depression or other similar disorders.

Symptoms of CFS/ME
As the name suggests, Chronic Fatigue is the main symptom of this disease. This means that patients feel tired all the time and are unable to carry out their daily activities. This fatigue or tiredness does not go away with rest or sleep. Any physical activity can cause dizziness, nausea, vomiting and take a long time to recover from. Patients report cognitive disturbances including difficulty concentrating, memory loss or brain fog. Some patients also suffer from headaches, sore throat and other flu-like symptoms. These symptoms can vary from time to time and affect different patients in different ways.
