Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Symptoms

In addition to the obvious symptom from which chronic fatigue gets its name, there are other symptoms chronic fatigue specialists look for when trying to make a diagnosis:

  • Memory loss or trouble concentrating
  • Sore throat
  • Swollen lymph nodes in the neck or armpits
  • Muscle pain
  • Joint pain with no swelling or redness
  • Headaches unlike any others you've previously experienced
  • Sleeping without feeling rested
  • Exhaustion that lasts more than 24 hours after any moderate physical activity

Causes of Chronic Fatigue

Healthcare professionals have yet to come to an agreement as to what causes CFS. There have been studies that could possibly link it to some viral infections, problems with the immune system, and hormonal imbalances .

Many patients suffering from CFS share three factors:

  • Age : CFS generally occurs in patients in their forties and fifties
  • Gender: Woman are more likely to report CFS than men
  • Lifestyle: People with inactive lifestyles or those dealing with weight issues  are more likely to develop CFS

Chronic Fatigue Treatment

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a serious condition that can lead to bouts of depression  or a desire to cut off all social interactions. That's why if you suspect you may be suffering from this affliction, it's important to seek out the help of a healthcare professional.

The first step is to keep a log or journal of the feelings you are experiencing. Not only will this help your healthcare practitioner to understand your condition, but it will help weed out any other factors that might be causing your fatigue such as sleep disorders, anemia, diabeteshypothyroidism , depression, anxietybipolar disorder , or schizophrenia to name just a few.

Once it has been determined that you are indeed suffering from CFS, your healthcare practitioner will develop a treatment plan to help you cope with individual symptoms while trying to manage the overall condition.

A chronic fatigue treatment plan will typically include numerous approaches including nutritional counseling, dietary supplements, relaxation techniques, physical activity, and psychological counseling .
