Jenny Brockie takes a look at chronic fatigue syndrome, what symptoms it has, and how people with the condition have managed it.
At 20 years old, Adele Clydesdale had just climbed Mount Kilimanjaro; she was starting her second year of university and playing in the Victorian Netball League.
So when she got glandular fever, she didn’t think much of it. She knew plenty of people who’d had it in high school and they always recovered quickly.
But even when tests results revealed the glandular fever was out of her system, Adele was still unwell and her symptoms were getting worse. She was increasingly fatigued, couldn’t string sentences together and had extreme body pain.
At six months, it was confirmed Adele had chronic fatigue syndrome, a diagnosis she found quite confronting.
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is estimated to affect between 0.2-2 per cent of the population in Australia yet very little is known about this condition.
Otherwise known as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis or ME, it is an illness characterised by profound fatigue, not relieved by sleep or rest and worsened with activity.
Patients will commonly experience muscle and joint pain, impaired memory and concentration and gastrointestinal disorders. However, the most defining indicator of CFS is Post Exertional Malaise (PEM) - when a certain level of cognitive or physical exertion will exacerbate a patient’s symptoms.
There are currently no proven treatments for CFS which means many are left without answers. Ketra Wooding has been unwell for eight years and with such severe symptoms, she has been living in a nursing home for five of those years.

The man who broke Watergate talks about Donald Trump
Donald Trump may have popularised the term 'fake news', but the wild nature of his presidency has also spawned an extraordinary series of insider accounts of his chaotic White House. The latest and most substantial of these is 'Fear' by veteran Washington reporter Bob Woodward.
Young women and injuries
The introduction of an AFL women's competition, the rise of the Matildas, and the increasing popularity of women's cricket all reflect a huge increase in the popularity of women's team sport. But with this surge has come a significant increase in serious knee injuries. Women are up to ten times more likely to rupture their anterior cruciate ligament than men, and Australia has the highest rate of knee reconstructions in the world.
Energy distributors push for a cap on solar power
More than six solar panels are installed across Australia every minute of every day as people try to tackle rising power prices. But the industry that owns Australia's poles and wires says all that power from the sun is a problem and it could destabilise the electricity grid. The solar industry disagrees, and it's preparing for a fight with the power networks.

As if the 2007 murder of Corryn Rayney wasn’t traumatic and incomprehensible enough for her family, the unrelenting police pursuit of her husband as the perpetrator must be one of the most appalling denials of justice and decency imaginable. Lloyd Rayney was a high-profile Perth barrister who was presumed guilty of the murder almost from the moment his wife’s body was discovered in a bush grave in a city park. But in a special edition of 60 minutes, Tara Brown reports that detectives missed or ignored other vital clues. As a consequence of the flawed investigation, whoever did murder Corryn Rayney remains unknown and unpunished. Lloyd Rayney, on the other hand, is a broken man after being hounded by the WA Police. In 2012, a court found him not guilty of willful murder, with the judge describing the prosecution case as being beset by “improbabilities and uncertainties”. But that doesn’t ease the pain for the man who wants the police to now put aside their prejudices against him, conduct a proper investigation, and find his wife’s killer.

Tensions rise between China and the US Tensions are rising between the world's two biggest economies.

McDonald's Employment
McDonald's is the largest employer of young people in Australia, giving many teenagers their first step into the workforce. But some former workers accusing the fast food giant of 'churning' young workers to save on wages.
Marawi
Last year Marawi became a battleground after it was captured by militant supporters of Islamic State. Government soldiers may have crushed the uprising, but one year on the city remains in ruins and thousands of people are still unable to return to their homes.

Farmers and Climate change
Prime Minister Scott Morrison has dismissed calls for coal powered energy to be phased out by 2050, as recommended by the world's leading climate change body, the IPCC. But you don't have to convince Australian farmers of that - many who are already struggling with drought now accept that climate change is making the world a hotter place.
The laundromat
Vanguard Laundry looks like any ordinary commercial laundry, but there's more to it than that. It's a social enterprise, staffed by people who've experienced mental illness and long-term unemployment, and it's changing lives.

Tinder has turned the dating game on its head. But for one young woman, a simple swipe right would go on to save her life.
A simple swipe on Tinder brings the possibility of love or perhaps heartbreak. But would you expect to find a new kidney?
That’s the story for New York couple Alana Duran and Lori Intercello, who started their romance on the online dating app, before realising they were a match in more ways than one.
Alana has lupus - a disease triggered by a malfunction in the body’s immune system which causes it to start attacking itself. At only 25 years old she has already had a hip replacement and a pacemaker installed, and had been waiting on the kidney transplant list for years.
Despite meeting on Tinder a few months earlier, Lori Interlicchio went through all the necessary tests to find out if her kidney was match for Alana.
Hiding her test results at the bottom of a giant box of birthday goodies, she recorded Alana’s emotional reaction to the news. The video has since racked up hundreds of thousands of views, and made headlines around the world.
For Lori, watching Alana’s laborious dialysis treatments made the decision a no-brainer.
