What is Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and How Can it Be Treated
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is one of the most unpleasant chronic illnesses you can have. Imagine you are continuously tired, you barely have the energy to get out of bed in the morning, and no matter how much you rest, it doesn’t seem to recharge you - you are still sleepy. At this point, you start passing up on activities you once did and enjoyed, you skip social events because you’re too tired. You’re even nervous about driving in case you will fall asleep. That’s Chronic Fatigue, and these are all components of the chronic fatigue syndrome symptom list. And it doesn’t go away. It stays and steals your life.
I’ve had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for roughly two years now. I’ve tried multiple types of procedures. Most failed, but some were successful to a degree. In total, I am much better now than when I was first diagnosed with CFS. During this process I learned a lot about Chronic Fatigue. Most importantly, I learned that it is a general term that almost certainly refers to a huge range of illnesses with similar symptoms, and there’s no one “chronic fatigue syndrome” disease. Even worse, no one truly understands the causes of extreme fatigue. Consequently, what may work for one person, may not work for another. Nonetheless, there is a common root to many of these: the fact that the immune system is compromised, which causes the body to feel fatigued.
There are many methods to fight this awful illness, and in my website: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Symptoms and Treatments, I try to tackle as many as I can and am familiar with. Going to a sleep center (sleep apnea), B-12 injections, doing anti-yeast diets. All can be used, and all may - or may not - be cures for fatigue. I also bring relevant articles to enrich the horizons of those who are interested in studying this illness.
