That means CFS: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
The abbreviation “CFS” stands for “Chronic Fatigue Syndrome”, which is the English term for chronic fatigue or tiredness syndrome. Those affected by this disease feel a rapid and long-lasting physical and mental exhaustion. The cause of the disease has not yet been clearly established.
Origin of CFS
The term “Chronic Fatigue Syndrome” only came into circulation in the late 1980s. Previously, the disease was known as “benign myalgic encephalomyelitis.” With an increasing international number of cases, the US health authority CDC proposed the modern term, “CFS” for short, as a neutral name in 1988.

What does “yeet” mean?
To date, the definition of “CFS” remains inconsistent, which is due to the high variety of symptoms and the unexplained cause. It is estimated that several hundred thousand to 1.5 million people live with “CFS” in Germany. Not least due to the public discussion about the long-term consequences of the corona infection, also “Long COVID”, the “CFS” went viral in 2020 and 2021.
This is based on the comparable symptoms such as neck, headache, joint or muscle pain and the aforementioned persistent exhaustion. So, while “CFS” is pure f*ck in a nutshell, there is no one-size-fits-all treatment.
