Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) remains a complex medical puzzle; we examine the latest research, discuss its symptoms, challenges in diagnosis, and management strategies to improve the lives of those affected.
A while back, an article about Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) was published by the American Medical Association.
We met with some specialists who treat Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and dove deep into the article. We wanted to clarify what the article actually says and whether it covers all aspects of this disease. We also wanted to know if it provides answers to other questions about chronic fatigue syndrome.
We’re right there with those of you living with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and we don’t want to scare anyone. It’s true that calling it “chronic fatigue” doesn’t really capture the severity of the condition. There’s a lot more to it than just feeling tired, and new research is constantly emerging. Chronic fatigue is one of those elusive conditions that needs more study and exploration.
Because of all of this, medicine and research are always changing. These symptoms occur in more than 60% of patients with known conditions like chronic infections, adrenal gland disorders, heart failure, depression, and many more.
Since we’re always exploring physical and mental health conditions, we felt it was important to explore known physical and mental health conditions as a cause with regard to research and medicine.
Let’s be real: one of the biggest challenges for people with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is feeling like they’re being dismissed or not taken seriously. Finding someone who understands what you’re going through can make all the difference.
