This is our sole area of practice, and we represent disability claimants across the U.S.

Understanding Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is categorized by extreme, prolonged tiredness that cannot be alleviated by sleep or rest. It can be accompanied by fever, aches and depression. Thus far, the medical community has not narrowed down the cause of chronic fatigue to a single medical issue, though it can follow a viral infection and has been linked to psychological stress.

Treatment is typically focused on alleviating symptoms, which may include:

  • Fatigue (physical and/or mental weariness)
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Memory loss
  • Sore throat
  • Enlarged lymph nodes in the neck or armpits
  • Unexplained aches and pains in the muscles or joints
  • Headache
  • Sleep that does not leave one feeling refreshed
  • Extreme exhaustion that lasts more than 24 hours after physical/mental exercise

If you are experiencing these symptoms, it is important to see your doctor. He or she may consider any recent medical or psychological conditions in evaluating your symptoms to determine whether you may be suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome. Treatment may alleviate these symptoms, but you may still find it difficult or impossible to work in the same field or to return to work at all.

Protect Your Right To Disability Benefits

Insurance companies are notorious for their exhaustive review of disability claims and for terminating benefits if they can find any evidence they believe warrants a claimant’s return to work. At ERISA Law Center, our disability lawyer is here to protect your right to benefits in the face of dishonest or outright unlawful attempts by insurance providers to deny your claim or terminate your benefits.
