Hello, Thanks for the query.
The symptoms mentioned can be of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). However, it is difficult to say that you have CFS unless a few tests are done to rule out whether other conditions are present. So it is better if you get the following tests : CBC, Thyroid Function Test, Blood Glucose, Lipid Profile. Still others may be needed. But with above tests some guidelines will be available. Because hypothyroidism is one which can most of the symptoms mentioned. So please do get these tests and then based on the results one can proceed further. CFS has no specific treatment. So let us rule out if any of the other known and treatable conditions are present. Thanks.
