Fatigue is a mechanism that protects from the excessive nerve activity and at the same time it warns that you must change your life style.

Chronic fatigue syndrome is not new disorder. For the group of the symptoms in 19th century people used expression "nerve exhaustion". Beside possible infective causes, development of the disorder induce psychiatric disorders (as depression), endocrinological diseases, metabolic disorders and particularly stress and trauma.

Chronic fatigue syndrome usually starts abruptly, mainly after a cold or viral illness or after some stress situation caused by moving, changing of the working place or a car accident. Chronic fatigue syndrome is characterized with unexplainable fatigue followed by physical and mental exhaustion that doesn't pass even after resting. Patient have trouble with sleeping, he wake up very often or sleeps very shortly. Pain in muscles or/and joints ("Everything hurt me" statement), headaches, painful lymph nodes and throat, and especially abdominal pain, those are some of the symptoms of the chronic fatigue syndrome. Patient also has some neurological elements of the disorder as forgetfulness, mental tiredness, troubles with concentration, short memory and disorientation. Low blood pressure, low blood pressure after standing up, pale face, nausea, heart beating or trouble with breathing are manifestation of autonomous disorder. While body weight is changing (from anorexia to abnormal eating), daily body temperature oscillation, perspiration episodes, feeling of heat attacks and cold limbs are same neuroendocrinological manifestation of chronic fatigue syndrome.
