Chronic Fatigue Or Just Plain Old Tiredness?

Send us Fan MailThe Difference between Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Just Feeling Tired We all have times when we lack energy. After a long, hard day at work, you might be tired in the evening. Is that normal, or is it a sign of a bigger problem? It might just be normal if you're tired after exercising, especially if you're not used to intense physical activity. On the other hand, you might have chronic fatigue syndrome, which is a lot more common than most people think. What Is Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)? With the word "fatigue" in its name, it's easy to understand that CFS is an energy problem. According to a four-year study out of Wichita, Kansas, this is an issue for more than 800,000 people in the United States. Women seem much more susceptible than men, almost four times as much. The biggest problem is that this is almost always an undiagnosed condition. Many medical professionals haven't been trained to properly diagnose CFS as opposed to exhaustion related to other health issues. The American ME and CFS Society reports that only about 16% of the people with this illness have been diagnosed. The problem is the same in Great Britain, where it's estimated that more than 250,000 people have chronic fatigue syndrome. Statistics from the Netherlands, Africa, Japan, Australia, and Canada show this is a global issue. Here are a few of the classic symptoms of CFS. ·       Difficulty falling to sleep and staying asleep·       Muscle aches and pains·       Problems paying attention and staying focused·       Memory issues·       Joint pain·       Swollen lymph nodes·       Flu-like symptoms·       A chronic lack of energy If untreated, CFS can be very debilitating. As you can see from the list of symptoms, it's easily misdiagnosed. These are conditions that might appear with several health problems. That's why you should consider talking to your doctor if you often feel tired. That's not a normal situation. We all have busy, hectic lives. Because of our sedentary nature, many of us might experience exhaustion or lack of energy. That can certainly be normal when you consider modern lifestyle habits. It's not normal when this condition persists.  If you've experienced the above symptoms for six months or more, schedule an appointment with your doctor. Mention chronic fatigue syndrome specifically and be open to treatment. This condition is easily managed, but not until you've received the proper diagnosis.Asenseofahh Vibes!
