Symptom #3: Getting Sick

We tend not to get sick often. We will pick up the occasional bug, but for the most part, we remain free from illness. This is thanks to our immune system that is in operation all day every day. One theory for the cause of chronic fatigue syndrome is a weakening of the immune system leading to a decrease in the body’s natural ability to fight off disease.

With a weakened immune system, people with chronic fatigue syndrome are more likely to fall ill. Colds and flu can become common to them, and otherwise mild illnesses can become more severe. People with chronic fatigue syndrome are encouraged to get as much exercise as possible and eat a healthy diet to bolster their immune systems.
