Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Prolonged fatigue can be a symptom of a number of conditions, including anaemia, depression, chronic infection, candida, auto-immune disorders and cancer.

For some kinds of extreme fatigue, however, no apparent cause can be found, even though the problem may persist for years.

This increasingly common condition has acquired various names, although the most generally accepted is "chronic fatigue syndrome". It is also known as ME in the UK.

Although some doctors still dismiss it as "all in the mind" it is generally recognised as a debilitating and very real condition.

Complementary practitioners are more ready to look beyond the symptoms for possible and psychological contributing factors.

Tip: look at a way of delegating responsibility, get plenty of rest and do not try to do too much. Take some gentle exercise such as walking or swimming to release endorphins.
