Many of the symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia also overlap with those associated with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS). Exposures that trigger MCS, which is also sometimes referred to as chemical hypersensitivity, sick building syndrome, or environmental illness, can result in symptoms of fatigue, difficulty concentrating, depressed mood, memory loss, weakness, dizziness, headaches, heat intolerance, and arthralgias (joint pains).
