Clinic
- ICF is characterized by unexplained fatigue that lasts at least six consecutive months.
- It is an entity and should not be confused with Fatigue as a SSP and CFS as a disease.
ICF vs CFS
- Simply saying, ICF has only Fatigue with unknown causation but CFS requires the additional symptoms of:
- Post-exertional malaise (significantly worsening symptoms with activity which results in a significant reduction in daily activities, which may ME delayed by up to 3 days
- Sleep dysfunction
- Either Cognitive problems or Orthostatic intolerance,
- A range of other symptoms commonly result from CFS including headaches, muscle and joint pain and low-grade fever
- Prevalence of ICF is between 3-15%, which is two to ten times higher than CFS
- Older age at onset is more common in ICF, particularly from age 50, while in CFS age at onset is typically 16-35 years old
- The recovery rate within a year is significantly higher for ICF patients, 30-50% compared to under 10% in CFS
- ICF is categorized within general signs and symptoms by the World Health Organization, while CFS is categorized as a neurological disease
Miasmatic analysis
- ICF is an entity. Its SSPs are Fatigue, Cognitive impairment, Concentration difficult
- CFS is a disease which contain certain entities including ICF, Hypotention, Central sensitization and Depression
- There is a good justification for my claim. In traditional medicine the diagnosis of ICF is not considered when a definite disease is diagnosed. It means that ICF is not a definite disease but a part of it which may be common in many disease
