- Brief Summary
***“******Sukha sanjnakam Aarogyam vikaro dukhameva ca|â€***as quoted by *Acharya charaka* states that, the experience of positive stimuli (sukhasamjna) is termed as *Arogya* & contrary to this is *Vikara*, here *vikara* means *vedana*. *Vedana* is mainly of two types i.e., *Anukulakaravedana(sukha)* & *Pratikulakaravedana(dukha*). There are many experiences that cause *pratikulavedana*, *Angamarda is* one among them. ***“Angamarde******rogalakshanaha******â€***i.e., *Angamarda* is prominent feature which is specifically seen in different conditions. ***“******Anganaamvimrudhyante iva******â€***i.e., *Angamarda* is a sense of pain & uneasiness which is a common feature as well as a specific feature in Chronic fatigue syndrome & Repetitive stress injury.
Chronic fatigue syndrome is a debilitating disorder characterized by persistent & un-explained Fatigue that lasts for 6 months, resulting in severe impairment in daily functioning along with concomitant symptoms such as pain etc. with prevalence rate varying between 0.2-0.4%.

It has the prevalence rate of ~1% in India.
