Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a complex, disabling, and long-term medical condition characterized by profound fatigue that is not improved by rest. The hallmark symptom of the illness is post-exertional malaise (PEM), which involves a severe worsening of symptoms following even minor physical or mental activity. Other common symptoms include unrefreshing sleep, cognitive difficulties (often referred to as "brain fog"), and orthostatic intolerance.

    People with chronic fatigue syndrome have lower mitochondrial energy-transformation capacity in muscle.
