Chronic Fatigue

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS or CFIDS) and Fibromyalgia have a number of symptoms in common, including chronic fatigue, headaches, post-exertional malaise, muscle pain or aching, irritable bowel symptoms, and unrefreshing rest. Both of these chronic illnesses are difficult to accurately diagnose; however, the immune system seems to be affected in most patients. Various treatments are offered, and often change in diet and daily routine can help. Many alternative medicine therapies have been helpful for those suffering from these symptoms, especially in the area of Botanical Medicine, Nutritional Therapy, Functional Medicine, Biofeedback, and Guided Imagery. Massage therapy, physical therapy, energy therapy, homeopathy, acupuncture, and other modalities from Traditional Chinese Medicine can have beneficial effects as well. Chronic Fatigue is also known as Immune Dysfunction Syndrome, myalgic encephalomyelitis, and many other names. It is a complex and debilitating chronic illness that affects the brain and multiple body systems. This disorder is characterized by incapacitating fatigue (experienced as profound exhaustion and extremely poor stamina) and problems with concentration and short-term memory, as well as flu-like symptoms such as pain in the joints and muscles, unrefreshing sleep, tender lymph nodes, sore throat, and headache. Post-exertional malaise, a hallmark of this condition, it is a period of profound fatigue that follows mental or physical activity and requires twenty-four hours (or longer) to subside.
