The exact cause of CFS is still unknown. However, several factors may contribute to its development:
Viral infections: Some people develop CFS after a viral infection, suggesting a potential link. Immune system issues: CFS patients often have slightly impaired immune systems. Hormonal imbalances: Abnormal levels of hormones produced in the hypothalamus, pituitary glands, or adrenal glands have been observed in some patients. Genetics: Some evidence suggests a genetic predisposition to CFS.
