Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a complex disorder characterized by extreme fatigue. An underlying cause cannot be found, that is, there is no explainable reason. It increases or even worsens with physical or mental activity, and does not go away with rest. Today, the cause of this disease has still not been found, but research shows many factors ranging from viral infections to psychological trauma. As a result of some studies, genetic tendency has also been shown among the reasons. There is no specific test or imaging test to diagnose the disease. Diagnosis is made by considering and ruling out many diseases that cause complaints similar to chronic fatigue syndrome. The main symptoms of the disorder are fatigue, impaired mental concentration and difficulty focusing on events, distraction, sore throat, enlarged lymph nodes in the neck or armpit, unexplained muscle aches, pain that jumps from one joint to another without signs of inflammation such as swelling or redness, headache, trouble sleeping. These are complaints and findings such as fatigue that does not go away, or fatigue that persists for more than twenty-four hours after physical or mental activity. It would be wrong to immediately diagnose chronic fatigue syndrome by looking at these symptoms, as these complaints can be symptoms of many diseases, from an infectious disease or depression to cancer. That's why it is necessary to do serious research first. For example, Epstein-Barr virus, which can cause cancer, human herpes 6 virus or mouse leukemia viruses can cause the complaints and symptoms listed above. It should be considered that immune system disorders, imbalances in the secretion of hormones secreted from the hypothalamus or pituitary in the brain, hormones secreted from the adrenal glands, thyroid hormones and many other hormones may also cause symptoms similar to chronic fatigue syndrome. This disorder is more common in people aged 40-50 and in women, but it would be correct to attribute this to the fact that women can convey their complaints to the doctor more often and easily, rather than associating it with gender. People who are overweight and sedentary constantly complain about extreme fatigue. Therefore, lifestyle should be seen as an important factor. ir. So, what kind of complications does chronic fatigue syndrome cause in humans? People who spend their lives complaining about fatigue first of all lose the desire to work. The social relationships of these people are restricted. They stay away from weddings, religious ceremonies, circumcision ceremonies, cocktail-conferences and professional meetings. They become isolated from their coworkers, tradesmen from their shop neighbors, and housewives from their neighbors because they think they cannot keep up with them because of their fatigue. Thus, they are isolated from social life. Psychologically, they are prone to depression. So, if you have such complaints, what should you do to get rid of this situation?

First of all, you should consult a doctor. Explain your situation, put forward your complaints, share them. Think about whether you have experienced any negativities that have put you in trouble in your private or social life lately and tell them about them. Tell me if you have sleep problems. If you have any medications you are taking, make a list of them and tell your doctor. Your doctor should first investigate whether there is a tangible or visible cause. For example, if you have sleep apnea, anemia, diabetes, thyroid gland failure, anxiety, depression, etc., all of these should be investigated first. Your doctor will tell you what to do if he diagnoses chronic fatigue syndrome. Let's say you have a sleeping problem. In order to avoid this problem, he will first advise you to quit caffeinated drinks, which have a stimulating effect. If you are fat, he will tell you to lose weight; if you are sedentary, he will tell you to follow an exercise program. He will offer some other suggestions similar to these. Maybe he will also prescribe a suitable medicine for you. What you need to do is to apply these suggestions and treatment.

Dear readers, I wish you a disease-free, problem-free, healthy, happy and long life.
