Chronic Fatigue Is Real And Needs Your Attention Now!
Dr. Peter Dobie
At some point in our lives, we all get too tired. People suffering from arthritis have experienced attacks of depression in their lives. All of us get tired at one time or another. Many of us with arthritis have experienced bouts of depression in our lives. However, when it comes to CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome), then the situation changes completely. This isn’t just another case of fatigue.
It is completely normal for people to experience the daily ups and downs in their lives. However, the situation changes completely when it’s the case of a CFS sufferer. When CFS starts its effects on a person, then the sufferer develops quite a noticeable fatigue and tiredness that either makes a quick appearance without any explanation, and either the fatigue often strikes and disappears after sometime or it seems to be unending.
Individuals who are affected from CFS, which is quite a debilitating illness, are just too exhausted to do their daily jobs on a regular basis. By just getting a few nights of restful sleep, people with CFS cannot escape from the feelings of profound tiredness and weakness. CFS simply takes away a person's hope and energy after a few months or in some cases even after years.
Remember, too much tiredness or weakness isn’t the only symptom of CFS. A sufferer may also have to face different types of secondary symptoms such as headaches, sore throat, joint pain, tender muscles, short-term memory loss, and in some cases even difficulty in thinking. A few recent studies performed at various medical universities in Australia have found that approximately millions of people in Australia suffer from CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome). The worst thing that was found in these researches was that about 60% of these sufferers’ were women. CFS also directly connects with individuals who suffer from arthritis and other joint problems like Fibromyalgia, Bursitis and Gout.
In many individuals, the problem of Chronic Fatigue can start after they’ve suffered a bad attack of common cold, bronchitis, arthritis pain, or in some cases even an intestinal bug. While in some situations, people can develop CFS after getting affected from infectious mononucleosis. You’ll be surprised to know that many people connect their CFS problem with a time when they were going through too much stress in their lives. However, there are many cases where patients fail to establish a connection between their Chronic Fatigue problem to any specific event or sickness in their lives.
Diagnosis of CFS Another fact about CFS is that the treatment for chronic fatigue is somewhat connected with its effective diagnosis. Why? That’s because it is quite difficult to effectively diagnose CFS because of the similarity of symptoms that are associated with other diseases. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome requires treatment by expert doctors only. Experience doctors will not only identify this illness, but they’ll also provide the right treatment for CFS.
