Chronic fatigue syndrome inhertited?


My mum has been suffering from M.E (aka CFS) for the past 8 years, recently i have notice i have been suffering from some of the onset symptoms of M.E. (exhaustion after activities which dont normally tire me ie walking up stairs, light sensitivity, nausea, dizzy spells and headaches.) however i went to the doctors and she says it may be post-exam exhaustion, but wants to monitor it over the next 7 weeks.
I was wondering can you inherit CFS from a parent???

No, it is not passed on genetically. Although the cause of CFS is still being debated, it is likely caused by a virus or a combination of factors, but none of them have to do with your parents.
