Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Conventional medicine suggests that the criteria for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome consists of:
- Debilitating fatigue that interferes with normal daily functions.
- Fatigue not alleviated by rest
- Fatigued that is worsened by mental, physical or emotional exertion.
- Fatigue that usually lasts longer than 6 months
- and many more…
From a natural perspective, we always look at cause and affect. We look at vitamin and mineral levels, heavy metal toxicity, viral/bacteria load, hormonal imbalances including adrenal function, mitochondrial dysfunction and so much more.
We often find an imbalance in hormones, adrenal fatigue or even a viral and / or bacterial load which is the primary cause of fatigue. Once the root cause is treated, patients often have a better quality of life and reduced fatigue levels within 2-12 months.
It sounds like a long time, but often patients have been struggling for years before they get to this point in their treatment plan.
Symptoms of CFS can include:
- Unrelenting fatigue
- Insomnia
- Memory loss
- Joint pain
- Poor concentration
- Headaches
- Enlarged lymph nodes
- Chills / fevers / night sweats
- Digestive issues
- Dizziness
- Low blood pressure
- and more…
