Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is one of the most awful chronic diseases you can have. Imagine you are continuously tired, you barely have the energy to get out of bed in the morning, and no matter how much you rest, it doesn’t seem to refresh you - you are still sleepy. At this point, you start avoiding activities you once did and enjoyed, you miss social events because you’re simply tired. You’re even nervous about driving in case you will fall asleep. That’s Chronic Fatigue, and these are all components of the chronic fatigue syndrome symptom list. And it doesn’t go away. It stays and steals your life.

I’ve had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for about two years now. I’ve tried countless types of treatments. Most failed, but some were somewhat successful. In total, I can say I am much better now than when I was first diagnosed with CFS. During this time I learned a great deal about Chronic Fatigue. Most importantly, I discovered that it is a general term that probably refers to a huge range of illnesses with similar symptoms, and there’s no one “chronic fatigue syndrome” illness. Even worse, no one completely understands the causes of extreme fatigue. As a result, what may work for one person, may not work for another. Nonetheless, there is a common root to many of these: the fact that the immune system is weak, which causes the body to feel fatigued.

There are multiple methods to fight this terrible illness, and in my site: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Symptoms and Treatments, I try to address as many as I can and am familiar with. Going to a sleep center (sleep apnea), B-12 injections, doing anti-yeast diets. All can be used, and all may - or may not - be cures for fatigue. I also bring relevant articles to enrich the horizons of those who are interested in studying this illness.
