Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS or ME, where ME stands for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) is a flag that many different meanings. Generally, a state of greater than normal fatigue, accompanied by muscle pains and other various symptoms. The condition was first described in the 50 years, but calls within medical world are still a lot of discussions.
It has been determined unclear how anyone gets CVS. Even on the question whether or not a real illness, it is still disputed for printing. Possibly it is a psychosomatic disorder, possibly not. CVS frequently emerges in the same family eg mother and daughter, without a medical data using genetic factor can be determined. Possibly, this involves a form of psychological inheritance.
The many names of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)
Me Outside, there are many different names for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) or for conditions that strongly resemble.
There is the PVFS or Post-Viral Fatigue Syndrome, which is based on the assumption that the disease is elicited by the body's immune response against one - unidentified virus. More information about this failure, to say nothing of proof.
CFS is de afkorting van de Engelstalige benaming (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome). CFS is the abbreviation of the English name (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome).
CFIDS is anderzijds de afkorting van Chronic Fatigue (and) Immune Dysfunction Syndrome. CFIDS stands for Chronic Fatigue other hand (and) Immune Dysfunction Syndrome. Some experts believe the fact that chronic fatigue is caused by a hyperreactive immune system disruption. For this claim there is no evidence.
Chronic Fatigue will also show the youth
In the past, CVS often dismissed as a civilization disease, which was partly due to the busy stressful lives we lead. Indeed, the fact is that many people during their careers suddenly 'break' and CFS symptoms start showing. They are not just upwardly mobile people who come into contact with CFS.
The most dangerous age is between 25 and 55 years old and is indeed more or takes on the age of the professional career. However, even children with CFS, sometimes even family. A striking finding is that more women than men with CFS face. The profile of the typical CFS patient does not exist and that makes it difficult to identify the causes of it to detect.
Causes of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
We said above though, it will guess at the causes of CFS. Over the years many theories have been dished up, but none has a truly satisfactory solution to the fore.
For example the - unconvincing explanation - from an unknown virus that activates the immune system constantly. This virus is sometimes associated with other viruses, but without anything in black and white can be proved.
A chronic immune response has also been suggested as possible causes, without any convincing evidence on the table to lie. Still others point to statements of endocrine disorders or psychological factors. The latter solution seems the most likely time being, although not be ruled out that psychological factors in a different data must be combined.
Treatment of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
On the treatment of CFS, there is already no consensus. Depending on the doctor's advice will geneesmidddelen (antidepressants, painkillers, PD controllers, amplifiers of the immune system.). A wise physician will always remain part psychotherapy in the treatment record.
In practice, the combination of medication (to control the physical symptoms) with appropriate therapy (see below) to yield the best results. A ready-made solution for medical CFS does not exist. In one patient, a particular form of (combined) form of treatment is more successful than another.
It is obvious that the patient will need much rest. Moreover, they pay much attention to his diet. Far beyond these generalities, the doctor - in combination with the prescription of medication and therapy - but no go. Below we will see that the medical world, however, continues to search for better solutions, which also produces an accurate picture of the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome can outline.
