A condition known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is characterized by extreme and ongoing fatigue that is not alleviated by rest.
As the name implies, it is a condition of prolonged, unabated fatigue that is accompanied by problems with short-term memory and/or concentration and lasts for longer than six months without any apparent cause.
Out of every 10,000 people, ten to twenty suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome.
Adults between the ages of 20 and 40 are most frequently affected by this condition.
Compared to men, women experience it more frequently.
Causes of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome :
Though the precise cause of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is unknown, some theories contend that it may be brought on by an immune system disorder or a viral infection.
Symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome :
Most of the time, CFS symptoms are comparable to those of the flu and other widespread viral infections, such as
- Extreme exhaustion is the sudden onset of persistent, unexplained fatigue that is unrelated to exertion, does not significantly improve with rest, and substantially reduces previous levels of activity.
- Muscle Pain
- Pain in multiple joints
- Headache
- impaired concentration or short-term memory
- following intense physical or mental effort, extreme and prolonged exhaustion
- Not refreshing sleep
Diagnosis :
The clinical findings and symptomatology are frequently used to diagnose and rule out the possibility of other diseases even though there are no specific laboratory tests for the diagnosis of CFS.
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Homeopathy
Homeopathy is a powerful therapeutic option for chronic fatigue syndrome.
Homeopathy chooses the appropriate medications for each patient based on their unique signs and symptoms of fatigue, as well as the causes of that fatigue, including exertion, body position, time of day, emotional factors, dietary habits, and any underlying illnesses like viral infections, etc.
A constitutional and holistic individualistic approach to homeopathic treatment may be beneficial for the many CFS patients who also suffer from depression and other psychological disorders.
Chronic fatigue syndrome can be effectively treated by combining constitutional homoeopathic treatment with some straightforward but efficient steps like sleep hygiene, light exercise, and a healthy diet.
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is strongly advised to be treated with homeopathy.
Homeopathic Medicine of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome :
- Gelsemium:This condition is characterized by weakness, drowsiness, dullness, trembling, and muscle aches with heaviness and weakness. Tremors and twitching of the muscles may also be present. The patient may experience a dull heaviness in the head and blurred vision. The condition is made worse by damp, cold weather. The patient may also feel dull and anxious. A peculiar symptom of gelsemium is that the condition is made better by frequent urination.
- Kali phosphoricum:The mental symptoms of Kali phosphoricum include anxiety with depression, insomnia, nightmares, and loss of memory. There is muscle weakness and aches and pains, all of which are worse with exercise, the cold, and mental effort. The symptoms are better from sleep, eating, and gentle movement. Kali phosphoricum may be one of the most popular treatments for CFS, especially if the illness occurs after a bout of influenza.
- Mercurius solubilis:If the symptoms of acute glandular fever (caused by the Epstein-Barr virus) become more persistent and lead to CFS, then Merc sol may still be a good medicine to give. The patient may have a persistent sore throat with enlarged cervical lymph nodes (glands), have a lot of salivation, be sensitive to both heat and cold, and have a persistent sore throat. They may also have insomnia with great restlessness at night and nightmares.
