which must have persisted or recurred during 6 or more consecutive months of

illness and must not have pre-dated the fatigue:

to cause substantial reduction in previous levels of occupational, educational,

social, or personal activities;

· Sore throat;

· Tender cervical or axillary lymph nodes;

· Muscle pain;

· Multi-joint pain without joint swelling or redness;

· Headaches of a new type, pattern, or severity;
