Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS, English - chronic fatigue syndrome) was first described in 1984 by A. Lloyd. Its characteristic symptom was chronic fatigue experienced by the patient, which does not disappear even after a long rest and over time leads to a significant decrease in performance - both mental and physical.
The term βchronic fatigue syndromeβ came into use in the 80s of the last century. This was due to the fact that over the previous decades people began to spend more time at work, while food technologies gradually changed and the physical load on urban people decreased. As a result, people from different countries and even different continents developed the same symptom complexes, which were designated as chronic fatigue syndrome.
