Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is the name for a disorder characterized by debilitating fatigue and a variety of associated physical, constitutional and neuropsychological symptoms.
Women are twice as likely as men to be diagnosed with CFS. Most patients with CFS are generally between 25 and 45 years old, although cases in childhood and in middle age have been described.
In the November 2000 issue of the Zhejiang Journal of Chinese Medicine, there is an article titled "Self-Composed Bu Gan Yi Qi Tang in the Treatment of 46 Cases of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome" by Zhu Guang-wen.
Among the 46 patients in this study, 31 were male and 15 were female. These patients ranged in age from 19-44. Their clinical symptoms included a long period of extreme fatigue; a wan effect; emotional depression; insomnia; impaired memory; occasional sighing; scanty qi and a disinclination to talk or faint voice; no thought for food and drink or indigestion; flabby muscles; lack of strength; possible muscle-joint soreness and pain; heart palpitations; shortness of breath; and an inability to recuperate. The patients were given specific combinations of herbals over the course of 1-3 treatments. Thirty-five (76.09%) out of 46 patients were considered cured, which meant that their symptoms completely disappeared. Eleven patients (23.91%) improved, meaning that their clinical symptoms lessened.
