Many people tend to perceive this problem as usual overwork: you need to switch, take a break - and everything will pass. But do not mix one with the other. If simple fatigue can be easily overcome, then chronic fatigue has very different manifestations . Symptoms and treatment of the disease - and this is the disease - also have their own characteristics.
Who is more prone to this disease?
Oddly enough, most often problems arise in people who are active, positive, immersed in work. Work hard, do not give yourself any indulgences, in a word, do not spare yourself - this is not the lot of those who phlegmatically and rhythmically fulfill their duties and do not go beyond the intended circle. It was noted that women are more prone to such failures than men, who simply have more strength, and the mental state is crucial.
For other reasons, chronic fatigue may also occur. Symptoms and treatment of completely different ailments - influenza, acute respiratory viral infections or other viral diseases - may be accompanied by the aforementioned syndrome due to a general decrease in immunity.
Signs of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
First of all, this, of course, is depression, an indifferent attitude to everything around. Other forms of mental disorders often manifest themselves: apathy, neurotic reactions, persistent headaches, dizziness, anemia, general muscle weakness. Pain and cramps in the muscles are frequent, sleep disturbance is almost always observed. Attention and memory worsen, a feeling of chilliness appears. Often there are stomach upsets: nausea, vomiting without previous reasons - this is also often chronic fatigue. Symptoms and treatment of the consequences without taking into account the cause, in this case the psychological background, usually do not give the right picture or result. In more severe cases, a person has pain in the heart, in the throat, shortness of breath, fainting may occur. It is badly affected by all external stimuli: loud sounds, bright lights, someone else's voices or steps.
How to cure chronic fatigue
It has already been said above that just a breather is indispensable, a more thorough and consistent approach to the problem will be needed. Most likely, a visit to a psychotherapist and a course of treatment with antidepressants, vitamin therapy will be necessary. And the rest, a person needs to make an effort himself, so as not to revel in his suffering, but to try to put himself in order and live on.
Of course, relatives should understand it and protect it from annoying moments - from unwanted guests, noise, nervousness in the family and other stresses. If there is
chronic fatigue, the symptoms and treatment are interdependent, and the first steps on the path to healing should begin with rest. Only not on the sofa, not behind tightly closed curtains, but preferably in the fresh air - by the river, in the mountains, in the forest. Nothing heals like nature!
After a quiet pastime and contemplation, you need to gradually move on to more active relaxation - swimming, jogging, gymnastics. And do not forget about tasty and healthy food: no matter what nutritionists say, and food is one of the main pleasures in life that contribute to the production of endorphins in the pituitary gland - hormones of joy. And without them, how to deal with chronic fatigue? In defense of diets, it is still worth noting that heavy food can have the opposite effect. Preference should be given to dairy products, vegetables and fruits. A glass of warm milk with a spoonful of honey before bedtime is a great thing. Delicious tea with lemon balm or mint and the same honey, too.
Life is still beautiful, as the poet said.
