Feel Young Again After Chronic Fatigue
Do you feel like you can’t get out of bed in the morning? Are you sleeping more than usual, and yet you are still feeling exhausted? Is it hard for you to concentrate? Is your fatigue affecting your mood
Approximately 10-25% of patients seen in a primary care setting complain of chronic fatigue. An estimated 2.5 million Americans are thought to meet the criteria for a diagnosis of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, also known as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis or Systemic Exertional Intolerance Disease. 90% of these people have not been diagnosed. Most medical schools also do not cover this syndrome in their curriculum, leaving patients with few places to turn to for adequate treatment.
While conventional medicine offers no approved treatments for this syndrome of symptoms, Naturopathic and Chinese Medicine both offer a wealth of ways to support you and get you feeling like yourself again.
