Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

A complex, long-term condition characterised by profound fatigue not relieved by rest, post-exertional malaise, cognitive difficulties ("brain fog"), and often sleep disturbance and pain. CFS is an invisible and episodic disability: symptoms and capacity fluctuate day-to-day, making consistent workplace or educational participation difficult. Accessibility considerations include flexible scheduling, remote and asynchronous work options, reduced cognitive load, and accommodations for variable energy levels.
