Chronic tiredness without any other of the above symptoms should not be diagnosed as CFS. There are other causes of tiredness which should be investigated. Some red flag symptoms may suggest a more sinister diagnosis. These are: weight loss; fever; persistent malaise; night pain; focal pain and neurological signs... Although fibromyalgia is a separate syndrome from CFS, it is included here because it may be associated with CFS. Some patients with fibromyalgia have an undiagnosed chronic infection, whether bacterial or viral. If the former, it may be Lyme Disease... The following conditions are not CFS and must always be differentiated: anaemia, hepatic disease, diabetes, hypoglycaemia, malnutrition, malignancy, mental illness, sleep apnoea, thyroid disease.

Also known as: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
