Symptoms of CFS, ME or fibromyalgia show significant variation in severity from person to person and from day to day.

The importance of sleep : Not getting enough or sufficiently restful sleep will increase the challenge of physical or mental tasks. This may be caused by a disruption to your endocrine system, typically a general suppression of the hypothalamic/pituitary/adrenal (HPA) axis which is often associated with adrenal fatigue. You might also suffer from thyroid imbalances. The thyroid gland is responsible for the metabolism of every cell in the body and the regulation of fuel sources. Good thyroid function is therefore essential to good health.

The importance of an optimal liver function : The toxic load of the liver is an important consideration in chronic fatigue with a possible increase in burden from bacteria and viruses, as well as a associated antibody responses to the presence of heavy metals, which may be disrupt endocrine function. 

The importance of mental health : Stress and anxiety are also often a trigger in chronic fatigue syndrome.
