Chronic Fatique

The major feature of the condition is extreme fatigue which does not result from any type of exertion and is not relieved with rest or sleep. Many of the other symptoms are similar to flu symptoms but differ by being present over a longer period (generally six months or more). These can include: Sleep disorders (insomnia or oversleeping) Recurrent infection due to decreased immunity Extremely sore muscles, with long-lasting discomfort following even mild physical exertion Swollen lymph glands Joint pain Forgetfulness, confusion, inability to concentrate, depression Recurrent sore throat and headaches

Causes :

Research has not yet been able to pin down the cause of CFS, however current thinking is that it may develop when a virus invades the body at a time when the immune system is compromised. This may occur at times of increased physical or mental stress, during infection, or due to environmental factors such as exposure to industrial pollutants.

Sensitivity to a food, chemical, pesticide, household cleaning product, or other environmental toxin may also be contributing to CFS. Elimination of suspected items may be necessary, followed by reintroducing them one by one, to pinpoint what may be aggravating the symptoms.

Your healthcare professional will take a full history, perform a physical exam, and do a complete blood count to rule out other disorders that share symptoms with CFS, before diagnosing you with the condition. Additionally, symptoms need to have been present for at least six months before a diagnosis of CFS is made.
