Chronic Fatigue & Pain Management

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is a debilitating condition characterised by severe fatigue that is not alleviated by rest and can last for at least six months. The root cause of CFS is not yet fully understood, but it is believed to be a complex interplay of genetic, environmental and psychological factors. Common symptoms include extreme exhaustion, sleep disturbances, joint and muscle pain, headaches, and cognitive difficulties. Diagnosis is often challenging due to the lack of a specific diagnostic test, and treatment is typically focused on managing symptoms through lifestyle changes, medications, and therapy.

Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain condition that affects the muscles and soft tissues of the body, causing widespread pain, tenderness, and stiffness. Like CFS, the exact cause of fibromyalgia is not known, but it is thought to involve a combination of genetic, environmental, and neurological factors. Other common symptoms include fatigue, sleep disturbances, headaches, irritable bowel syndrome, and cognitive difficulties. Fibromyalgia is often diagnosed through a process of elimination, as there is no specific test for the condition.
