Unrelenting Fatigue is a complex disease involving multi-system disturbances and abnormalities. Here are some basic facts about Unrelenting Fatigue and its symptoms:
- Over 25 million Americans are afflicted with disabling persistent fatigue-related conditions. Because of the complexity of this disease, the normal 8-15 minute office visits provided by most doctors do not allow enough time to understand and diagnose the patient.
- Because a number of other diseases have similar symptoms, it can be difficult for many in the medical community to diagnose this condition correctly. 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.
- Treatment requires an extensive knowledge of the specialized field and focus on the underlying causes. Tremendous advances have been made in the understanding and treatment of this disease. Successful treatment requires a comprehensive approach, the patient’s commitment and support from those in the patient’s life.
Common symptoms include:
- Unexplained extreme fatigue
- Decreased ability to engage in work, school, social activities and personal interests due to fatigue
- Chronic or frequent sore throat
- Muscle pain
- Difficulty with concentration or short term memory
- Headaches unlike those previously experienced
- Unrefreshed sleep
- Tender lymph nodes
