The correct answer is
Typical symptoms include muscle and joint aches, fatigue, and weakness. Other possible symptoms include belly (abdominal) pain, bloating, chest pain, dizziness, dry eyes or mouth, jaw pain, morning stiffness, night sweats, short-term memory loss, mental problems such as panic attacks, shortness of breath, skin sensations, tingling feelings, and weight loss. CFS symptoms either hang on or often come and go for more than 6 months. For most people, CFS symptoms reach a certain point and stay the same. This happens early in the illness. After that, symptoms switch back and forth between getting worse and getting better. Over time, they may go away.
