At Disability Insurance Law Group, our Fort Lauderdale disability claims lawyers know that Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is a serious, long-term illness that affects many of the body’s systems. The disease is characterized by profound fatigue, sleep abnormalities, pain, and other symptoms that are made worse by exertion.
Also called Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), the condition can often leave sufferers from doing their usual activities — and in some cases make it difficult to get out of bed.
According to an Institute of Medicine (IOM) report, an estimated 836,000 to 2.5 million Americans suffer from ME/CFS. However, most of them have not been diagnosed.
If you have been diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, our Broward County disability insurance attorneys can help you file a compelling claim with your private or employer-provided insurance company, so you can focus on your wellness.

When assessing a patient for potential ME/CFS, the physician or healthcare provider will:
A doctor should be able to distinguish ME/CFS from other illnesses by doing a thorough medical exam. There is no cure or approved treatment for myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). However, some symptoms can be treated or managed.
Treating these symptoms might provide relief for some patients with ME/CFS but not others.
