It can significantly affect daily activities, work, and quality of life. The exact cause is unclear, but it may involve immune, hormonal, or nervous system abnormalities. Symptoms can worsen after physical or mental exertion. Management focuses on symptom relief, lifestyle modifications, and gradual activity pacing to improve energy and overall well-being.
