Until recently, researchers were very much in the dark about chronic fatigue syndrome causes. Doctors tried blood tests and brain scans to detect patterns in patients, but the Center for Disease Control said the only way to really diagnose a patient was to see if they had 4 out of the 8 symptoms of CFS that persisted for more than six months. Related symptoms include fatigue, exhaustion long after exercise or exertion, cognitive impairments, headaches, sore throat, joint pain, muscle aches and tiredness even after sufficient sleep.

Most diseases have tests that help doctors reach conclusions and make diagnoses. However, chronic fatigue symptoms often masquerade as other illnesses or disorders, so it's harder to pinpoint it right away. As well, there are no real tests that decisively say "Yes, you have XMRV chronic fatigue." Instead, doctors look at the list of symptoms for CFS and see if they can check off at least four items, such as fatigue, post-exertion malaise, inability to get nights of refreshing sleep, sore throat, headaches, muscular pain, joint pain and tender lymph nodes.

We all feel tired from time to time. It makes sense that we'd feel exhausted after a long day of work or a rigorous run. However, some people feel this way after waking up in the morning, day after day, month after month. This severe fatigue is just one chronic fatigue symptom, in addition to headaches, muscle and joint pain, mild fever, sore throat, post-exertion malaise and headaches. Dr. Nancy Klimas, an immunologist at the University of Miami School of Medicine who treats AIDS and chronic fatigue syndrome, says: "My H.I.V. patients for the most part are hale and hearty. Many of my CFS patients, on the other hand, are terribly ill and unable to work or participate in the care of their families."

"The cause or causes of chronic fatigue syndrome remain unknown, despite a vigorous search," writes the Centers for Disease Control. It's still plausible that the symptoms result from a combination of factors, including genetic, environmental, stresses and toxins. Currently, it's believed up to one million Americans suffer from CF symptoms. The only way they can be diagnosed is through a careful assessment of their symptoms and by ruling out other serious illnesses or diseases.
