Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir,

Thank you for posting your query on HCM.

Well looking into your problem I would like to tell you that all the viral fevers almost have post viral myalgias which can have overlapping picture and thus are very difficult to differentiate still we can discuss. CFS is characterised by persistent fatigue not relieved by rest,and unrefreshing sleep, muscle and joint pain that lasts for six months or more in adults . There are multiple other symptoms and multiple other causes .
XXXXXXX River Fever is caused by a mosquito and causative agent is XXXXXXX River virus and causes influenza-like illness and polyarthritis , malaise sore throat etc. A simple blood test may confirm the presence of antibodies to the virus and hence can be diagnosed .But this is an endemic disease and outbreaks are common than sporadic cases.

Take care.

Dear Sir,

Thanks for reverting back.

Graded exercise therapy is considered one of the best treatments . Maintaining healthy weight and indulging in acivities you like is the best thing . Some people also consider giving anti depressents for the condition but till you can handle on your own its good.
