Historically, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) has had difficulty gaining credibility as an actual illness and not just a case of depression that lasts. More and more doctors are finally accepting CFS as a legitimate disease.
CFS affects over a million people, most of them women. Although, doctors admit that men tend to seek treatment less for the condition less than women. CFS affects all ages and race groups.
CFS sufferers tend to have trouble getting friends, family and even doctors to understand and accept their disease as real.
One reason for this is that at this time there is no known cause for CFS. Two theories that have abounded about cause is that it is either a physiological condition or psychological. This article will focus on the psychological cause theory.
Diagnosing CFS is difficult due to the fact that it’s symptoms are so similar to those of other illnesses such as schizophrenia, neurasthenia, drug and/or alcohol abuse, depression and bi-polar disorder.
Common treatments include: anti-anxiety medicines, anti-depressants, cognitive behavior therapy and light exercise (too much exercise could actually exacerbate this condition).
CFS sufferers agree that a support group or chat group is key for gaining acceptance from others going through the same thing as well as receiving the latest info on treatment options.
Deep breathing and relaxation exercises have also proven to be extremely helpful in the treatment of CFS.
Stress is a major trigger for CFS. If this is the case for you, I highly recommend my High Blood Pressure program. Regardless of whether or not you suffer from high blood pressure, my all natural program is designed to regulate blood pressure.
