Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Life is busy, sometimes too busy. Because of this almost everyone experiences tiredness, even exhaustion, to varying degrees from time to time. There are many causes for feeling tired- keeping up with school, work, kids, household chores, hobbies, and other things that fill our days can lead to feelings of exhaustion. The feeling can persist for a short period of time. Then when life slows down to a point where you can rest and catch up on your sleep, the feelings diminish and eventually disappear.
But what happens when that feeling persists and is accompanied by other symptoms? Or when the exhaustion persists and begins interfering with their daily lives and prevents them from participating in the everyday activities you once enjoyed? For those who have feelings of extreme exhaustion for six months or more that are not alleviated with restful sleep, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome could be the root cause of the problem.
What is Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is a complicated medical condition. Someone who is suffering from this will constantly feel exhausted for six months or more, without another underlying cause or medical explanation.
The symptoms are characterized as being new onset, and have not been lifelong issues. The afflicted person will often experience a significant decrease in the ability to participate in activities that were common before the illness. Frequently the symptoms worsen after physical or mental exertion. This condition can last from several days up to several weeks.
The current accepted medical theory is that cfs is caused by a combination of factors including being triggered by viral infections, hormonal imbalances may also play a role in the development of this disorder as well as genetics as those who have blood relatives diagnosed with cfs are predisposed to have an increased risk. It is more commonly found in those of middle age, it does affect those in other age groups. And while women are diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome at a higher rate than men, this does affect both genders.
To put it bluntly, while certain factors can increase the risk of this disorder, anyone can be affected by chronic fatigue syndrome.
