Other symptoms that have been seen include fatigue, decreased strength, and unusual gait. [9] One study found that there was a correlation between decreased red blood cell count and level of solvent exposure, but not enough data has been found to support any blood tests to screen for CSE.
In the brain, serotonin is a neurotransmitter and regulates arousal, behavior, sleep, and mood, among other things. [9] During prolonged exercise where central nervous system fatigue is present, serotonin levels in the brain are higher than normal physiological conditions; these higher levels can increase perceptions of effort and peripheral muscle fatigue.

GLUT1 deficiency syndrome, also known as GLUT1-DS, De Vivo disease or Glucose transporter type 1 deficiency syndrome, is an autosomal dominant genetic metabolic disorder associated with a deficiency of GLUT1, the protein that transports glucose across the blood brain barrier. [1]
The term post-infectious fatigue syndrome was initially proposed as a subset of "chronic fatigue syndrome" with a documented triggering infection, but might also be used as a synonym of ME/CFS or as a broader set of fatigue conditions after infection. [26] Many individuals with ME/CFS object to the term chronic fatigue syndrome. They consider ...
Toxic encephalopathy is a neurologic disorder caused by exposure to neurotoxic organic solvents such as toluene, following exposure to heavy metals such as manganese, as a side effect of melarsoprol treatment for African trypanosomiasis, adverse effects to prescription drugs, or exposure to extreme concentrations of any natural toxin such as cyanotoxins found in shellfish or freshwater ...
Other common causes of chronic organic brain syndrome sometimes listed are the various types of dementia, which result from permanent brain damage due to strokes, [7] Alzheimer's disease, or other damaging causes which are irreversible. Amnestic pertains to amnesia and is the impairment in ability to learn or recall new information, or recall ...
Many people with MCS also include , migraine, chronic fatigue syndrome, or fibromyalgia and brain fog. Via toxic exposures, it has been proven that people with MCS may develop real symptoms, such as nausea and headache, when they encounter certain odors or other toxic chemical triggers.
Symptoms of functional neurological disorders are clinically recognisable, but are not categorically associated with a definable organic disease. [1] [2] The intended contrast is with an organic brain syndrome, where a pathology (disease process) which affects the body's physiology can be identified.
