Despite increased research efforts, much is still unknown about CFS and how to cure it. Although it is a poorly understood condition, CFS is now widely accepted as a medical condition that appears more among women in their 40’s and 50’s but is also commonly seen in men. It is also challenging to diagnose as symptoms can are similar to and can mimic other illnesses.

Chronic fatigue can range from mild to severe cases that can be debilitating and often severely affecting your quality of life. It is not due to exertion or other medical conditions and cannot be relieved by rest. It is characterised by fatigue that lasts more than six months plus is often accompanied with pain, tenderness to touch, sore glands, headaches and cramps. Digestive issues are often present too.

Chronic Fatigue Signs & Symptoms

Chronic fatigue is a serious illness that can often become quite crippling for sufferers of the syndrome and must be treated effectively. Described as both physically and mentally draining, people with CFS tend to wake up feeling unrefreshed or just as tired as they were before sleep. While symptoms and effects can be minor, others refer to it as a ‘crash’. CFS can come on suddenly or gradually, but symptoms tend to last for months. As qualified naturopaths, who specialise in treating chronic fatigue, we can help determine and treat the underlying drivers of your health issues.

• Persistent fatigue that is not instigated by exertion
• Loss of memory and impaired concentration
• Sore throat for an extended period of time
• Headache of a new type or severity
• Muscle and multi-joint pain without swelling or redness
• Unrefreshing sleep
• Abdominal pain, nausea and irritable bowel

You may also experience irritability, mood swings, anxiety that can lead to panic attacks as well as depression. However, each individual’s symptoms are different from the next and it is best to discuss your specific condition with one of our naturopaths.

What Causes Chronic Fatigue or Fibromyalgia

The drivers of chronic fatigue are often considered complex as the causes of the syndrome are poorly understood. In our experience, chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia is generally caused by one or a combination of the following:

• Adrenal fatigue
• Food intolerances
• Digestive issues
• Toxicity and poor liver clearance
• Hormonal imbalances
• An underactive thyroid
• Essential mineral deficiency
• Heavy metal toxicity
• Viral infection / Poor immunity
• General predisposition to the development
