7 Signs Of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome That People Never Notice In Time

Like many articles, there's some good information and a oversized quantity of misinformation. Some statements, like the disease prevalence, should have been verified and indicate a lack of fact checking on the part of the author.
But what struck me most is the very odd "treatments" section. It seems the author truly believes CFS is more discomfort than disease, and can be managed by a couple aspirin, lifestyle changes, exercise, and a nice relaxing spa treatment.

Remedy #1: Try A Pain Reliever
If you are experiencing a surge of chronic fatigue symptoms, your first step should be to take an over-the-counter inflammatory.
Try to stick with NSAIDs like ibuprofen and aspirin, which are both noted for helping with inflammation.
Since many CFS symptoms are believed to be linked to inflammation, taking an ordinary painkiller may help to nip the discomfort at it’s source by curbing swelling.
Remedy #2: Make Some Lifestyle Changes
Stress and anxiety are both closely linked to CFS symptoms. If you have a high-stress lifestyle and chronic fatigue, it may be a sign that you need to change the structure of your life for a healthier you.
Add at least 15 minutes of daily exercise to your routine; it’s nature’s most powerful drug for inflammation, malaise, and fatigue.
Try to cut stressors out of your life as much as possible, even if that means rearranging your work schedule or switching to a different job.
Remedy #3: Try A Physical Or Occupational Therapist
If you experience a lot of the muscle and joint pain symptoms of chronic fatigue, you may want to consider a physical therapy or occupational therapy approach.
Learning the right exercises can help to strengthen ligaments, joints, and muscles against the pain and inflammation of autoimmune response.
Further, exercise of any kind releases mood-boosting chemical cocktails that also boost your energy levels in the long-term, which might help a bit with the sense of exhaustion.
Remedy #4: Try A Relaxing Healing Treatment
Do you avoid going for spa treatments like a massage or pedicure because they seem frivolous? Now is your opportunity to turn around your thought process!
Soothing, spa-like activities, such as a massage or a body wrap, relax the mind.
At the same time, they might soothe and mellow out whatever internal triggers are causing CFS symptoms.
In other words, it’s not pampering; it’s self-care!
Remedy #5: Talk To Your Doctor
You may need to talk to your doctor, especially if your chronic fatigue symptoms start to impact your quality of life.
For lots of people, CFS symptoms go into remission and settle down if treated correctly.
A knowledgeable doctor can help you figure out the right combination of diet, exercise, medication, and lifestyle adjustment to get your body back into sync and relax some of the most uncomfortable symptoms.
If you or someone you know has chronic fatigue, be sure to SHARE to spread the word about this misunderstood illness!
