Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is a medical category that includes several known conditions, the best-known being Myaligic Encephalomyelitis (ME). CFS conditions dehabilitate thousands of people every year and can be very difficult to treat. Nobody really knows how chronic fatigue comes about, but some evidence has shown that it occurs after glandular fever, fibromyalgia, or too much exposure to toxins. The defining symptom is severe exhaustion after only a small amount of mental or physical exertion. However, CFS is hard to diagnose because the symptoms are so subjective.
The condition is very stressful and emotionally challenging, as there is little relief on offer. Unfortunately, there is not much medical help available, except for pain management, which can lead to increased toxicity. However, there is a lot of medical research underway, and we can hope that one day soon modern science will come up with a new way of helping people with this challenging ailment.
If you do suffer from CFS, or know someone who does, there is a range of complementary therapies available to help you. The first step is to look at your lifestyle and ensure that you’re doing the best thing for yourself. Be careful what you eat, try to stay away from processed food and exercise regularly, if only very gently. Then, why not start to sample a range of holistic therapies, in order to find one that can give a permanent boost to your lifestyle.
Yoga and meditation have proved to be valuable tools in managing pain. You could also consider Reiki, Massage and Aromatherapy. Many sufferers of a medical condition are able to maintain a high state of wellbeing. You need not think that suffering is a sentence you can’t escape from. True wellbeing is the sense of how you feel subjectively, not the problem you face. Complementary therapies can go a long way in helping you to create your own wellness.
