The symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) vary from person to person and medical assessment is needed to exclude other diagnoses. The symptoms can fluctuate from day to day and can cause a substantial reduction in previous levels of occupational, social, or personal activity. The onset of symptoms can be either gradual or sudden.

Brain Fog (Fag)

Brain fog is a common sensation described by people with CFS as poor concentration and memory which is associated with a feeling of "fuzzy headedness". This may be worse after meals and periods of physical exertion and stress.
