Chronic Fatigue Syndrome affects at least 250,000 people in the UK.

For students, this can cause disruptions to their workload at university and their social life. 

It often goes unnoticed, and can also go undiagnosed due to its complex nature intertwining with other mental health conditions. 

Carlotta von Graevenitz, 22, was diagnosed with CFS last year and has since found her everyday life being altered by the condition.

As a student in Sheffield, Ms von Graevenitz, has found it a lot harder to push through with even the simplest task. 

She told ShefNews: “I get the bus a lot, even for a 15 minute walk up hill because I know it will destroy my energy levels.”
