Always Tired
Hello,
I always feel tired and can't do heavy works.
I can not do much exercise either because of the fatigue.
Is it possible that I could be suffering from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a disorder characterized by persistent and unexplained fatigue resulting in severe impairment in daily func-tioning.
Fatigue lasts for at least 6 months.
Fatigue results in a substantial reduction in previous occupational, educational, social, and personal activities.
Four or more of the following symptoms are concurrently present for 6 months: impaired memory or concentration, sore throat, tender cervical or axillary lymph nodes, muscle pain, pain in several joints, new headaches, unrefreshing sleep, or malaise after exertion
Next Steps
I think we should exclude other causes of fatigue before reaching chronic fatigue syndrome
complete blood count; erythrocyte sedimentation rate; C-reactive protein; serum creatinine,electrolytes, blood glucose; liver function tests; thyroid-stimulating hormone; and urinalysis.
I think u should get these tests done ...
if already done kindly send me reports and let me analyse
hope the information is useful
