What is Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?
You will be surprised to know that chronic fatigue syndrome cannot be diagnosed easily as the symptoms are sometimes very similar to other disease like fibromyalgia. The person suffers from total exhaustion, headache, lack of sleep, painful nodes in the armpit and neck, weakness, loss of memory, anxiety and depression.
It has been described by some as waking up suffering with the flu every day of your life. Possibly the worst flu you have ever had. And it just will not go away.
This can be brought on by too much stress, taking antibiotics, exposure to chemicals like farm insecticide sprays, and viral problems like Glandular Fever and some strains of Influenza. When your immunity becomes compromised you become more vulnerable to infections and you quickly start to pick up every bug that is going around in your community. It is a downward spiral, and you just become sicker and sicker as time passes.
It is a fact that CFS and ME can be as immobilizing as congestive Heart failure, Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Multiple Sclerosis, and similar other chronic conditions.
At this time there is no definite medical test available which can confirm that a person is suffering from CFS. Family members and employers often tend to think that the person is just lacking motivation and is not really sick.
So they lose patience as they are not able to understand the real problem of the person who is suffering from CFS. This lack of sympathy and understanding makes the sufferer feel more dejected as the person knows that there is something terribly wrong but cannot understand what is wrong.
So what can you do about your Chronic fatigue Syndrome?
One of the most common self care remedies is to rest and learn to reduce and manage your stress levels. However, this is almost impossible to achieve in our busy lives today.
And all of us have to keep working to earn a living, so taking a year off from work to rest and recover is not really an option for most of us. Another strategy is to build up your strength and immunity levels by improving your diet and nutrition. But when you are feeling sick you do not feel like eating the huge amounts of fresh organic fruit and vegetables that this would require.
But do not worry, whatever may be your level of chronic fatigue, it has been observed that taking quality dietary supplements and use of chronic fatigue herbs can help to improve the health and energy levels of the sufferer. This is the simplest and fastest way to improve your health and start on your road to recovery and fully enjoying your life again.
