A. After a cold
B. After bronchitis
C. After hepatitis
D. Any of the above
The correct answer is D. Any of the above.
CFS may develop after a viral illness such as infectious mononucleosis ("mono"). This illness temporarily
saps the energy of many teenagers and young adults. Often, people say that their illnesses started during a
period of high stress. In others, CFS develops more gradually, with no clear illness or other event starting it.
2. The mental fatigue and confusion of CFS has been compared to what other condition?
A. Mononucleosis
B. A hangover
C. The flu
D. Sleep apnea
The correct answer is E. All of the above.

hangover, or untreated sleep apnea. The extreme weakness of chronic fatigue does not go away. It continues
to drain the person for months and years.
3. Which of these is not a typical symptom of CFS?
A. A rash over the trunk
B. Headache
C. Inability to concentrate
D. Tender lymph nodes
The correct answer is A. A rash over the trunk.
Typical symptoms include muscle and joint aches, fatigue, and weakness. Other possible
symptoms include 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 sensations, and weight loss. CFS symptoms either hang on or often come and go for
