The rheumatologist determined the number of active tender points and rated the sensitivity of the pain on a scale of 0 (no pain) to 3 (withdrawal of the patient from the examiner) of each tender point to determine a myalgic score. Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), also known as post-viral fatigue syndrome (PVFS) and myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) (Lewis, Cooper, & Bennett, 1994), is a clinically defined disorder with an ambiguous etiology characterized by severe debilitating fatigue and a combination of other somatic and neuro-psychiatric systems (Farrar, Locke, & Kantrowitz, 1995). Today, CFS also is known as myalgic encephalomyelitis, postviral fatigue syndrome, and chronic fatigue and immune dysfunction syndrome. |
