Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Fatigue is characterized by feelings of weariness and exhaustion. Fatigue is a common symptom of several emotional, mental, and physical disorders. In addition to poor nutrition, fatigue might result from over work, lack of sleep, stress, infection, or disease.
If one has chronic fatigue syndrome, the main symptom is an intense, disabling fatigue that can stop a person’s ability to participate in normal daily activities. Other symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome could include headaches, flu-like aches, depression, tender lymph glands, sore throat, mild fever, sleep disturbances, and the inability to concentrate.
Chronic fatigue syndrome can be a fatigue lasting 6 months or more that causes 50% reduction in activity and with an unknown cause.
Chronic fatigue syndrome can also give generalized muscle weakness and difficulty recovering after exercise.
Some researchers suspect that chronic fatigue syndrome begins with a viral infection. Some chronic fatigue syndrome clients tell us that an infection like bronchitis, sore throat, mononucleosis, or hepatitis was present before the chronic fatigue syndrome developed. Other researchers find immune system disturbances. In fact, there is a growing consensus that chronic fatigue syndrome results from a combination of factors.
