Unrelenting Fatigue
Unrelenting Fatigue (UF) is a complex disease involving multi-system disturbances and abnormalities. Here are some basic facts about UF and its symptoms:
- Over 25 million Americans are afflicted with disabling persistent fatigue-related . Because of the complexity of this disease, the normal 8-15 office visits do not allow enough time to understand and diagnose the patient.
- Diagnosis may be difficult with a vast number of other diseases and illnesses having similar contributing factors. In the past, it has taken years for patients to receive a diagnosis. Parameters have now been established for earlier identification and intervention. Similar symptoms may signal Chronic Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome, which should be considered.

Successful treatment requires a comprehensive approach, determination by the patient and support by those in their lives.
