How Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Affects Your Body Dr. Peter Dobie

For over a past few years, we have been witnessing a rise in cases of chronic fatigue syndrome. A person needs to meet specific criteria for getting diagnosed for chronic fatigue syndrome. Doctors follow a particular set of rules and guidelines while diagnosing because it’s quite difficult to diagnose chronic fatigue in some patients. For chronic fatigue syndrome treatment you need to visit an expert doctor who knows how to determine if a patient is suffering from chronic fatigue or not.

 Understanding Chronic Fatigue Syndrome It is quite difficult to define Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, especially to people who have less knowledge in medical field. The syndrome is quite unexplainable and patients suffer from fatigue, lethargy, tiredness, sleeping problems, swollen lymph nodes, fever and many other problems. The cause for this illness is not known exactly yet. It can also affect a person without over-exertion and it doesn’t go away with rest.

 Symptoms Of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome I have already mentioned some of the common symptoms of this illness, but there’s a long list of other symptoms as well. You can easily identify yourself some of the most common symptoms. However, you need to visit an expert doctor who can identify the other symptoms. A doctor will diagnose for chronic fatigue syndrome, if for no apparent reason or situation the symptoms keep reoccurring for a time period, also if no treatment seems to be working effectively for your illnesses.chronic fatigue syndrome

Symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Constant or reoccurring Fatigue Pain and Aches in muscles Lymph nodes will become swollen Cases of acute depression have been reported Reoccurring Headaches and in some cases even migraine Always feeling tired, even without doing any physical work Have problems to concentrate on work and chores Joints pain Persistent weakness In some cases loss of memory is also reported.

Doctors have failed to find the exact reason behind the occurrence of chronic fatigue. However, it might occur when a person is under extreme stress or he/she has been sick with other illness for a while. It seems that chronic fatigue attacks a person when his/her body is weak due to other illnesses or reasons. Doctors say that this syndrome usually occurs after suffering from flu, common cold, hepatitis or bronchitis.

The syndrome usually lasts for months and this is quite a bad news for people suffering from chronic fatigue. In some cases, the syndrome keeps on affecting people constantly while in other cases it can reoccur from time to time. Chronic fatigue wouldn’t fade away on its own and keeps damaging the health of the patient. You should visit the best doctor to get proper chronic fatigue syndrome treatment.chronic fatigue syndrome treatment
